Like books on a shelf

We stand together,
we stand apart.

We dream together,
We dream apart.

He is sturdy, hard-covered in blue;
she looks thin, in pretty pink paperback.

You may be smaller , pot-bellied, in ruins
or maybe a taller somebody

You tumble over me
I stumble over him,
he falls in her comfort

Like books in a shelf
but of different categories

We rub shoulders

We stand apart,

dream together.
