It was once so, said Aristophanes:
That two was one, and one was two.
Each broken just right,
to fit.
With one.
I never believed Artistophanes.
Until I lay,
against your chest.
And two was one, and one was two.
And all within,
And nothing without.
I never believed Arisophanes.
But,
for a moment,
I was.
Perfect.
Now I believe Aristophanes.
Two is one, and one is two.
We ache to be.
The universe,
in itself.
