1. BOTH ME AND MY WIFE
It was impossible to clap with a single palm; no matter how turbulently I swished it in
the air,
So in order that sound be produced and noise be heard; both my palms needed to
come abysmally close and strike.
It was impossible to run with a single leg; no matter how much passion I ignited in
my eyes,
So in order to win the race with nonchalant ease; both my legs needed to caress the
ground; and then sprint like a panther towards the finishing line.
It was impossible to see with one eye; no matter how far I stretched and revolved it
without respite,
So in order to sight the entire universe; profoundly admire mesmerizing beauty on

tried to hoist the jewel studded pen,
So in order to emboss boundless lines of literature; inundate every nook and cranny
of white paper with exquisite calligraphy; both my fingers needed to dance in
synchronization; race with pleasure to express their might.
It was impossible to kiss with only one lip; no matter how dexterously I tried to rub it
against my beloved,

2. So in order to trigger off flames of desire; exult in the aisles of fiery romance; both
my lips needed to move in fervor; explore the sweetness and taste of offered by
life.
And It was impossible for me on my own to evolve another of my kind; no matter
how many prayers and penance I offered to the Almighty,
So in order to procreate my progeny; and keep the world forever moving; both me
and my wife needed to blend together into chords of perpetual love; to ensure that
the world never ended; and there was
