Oxymorons used- stanzas 1, 2, 3, 4
1. alone together, act naturally, seriously funny, deafening silence
2. found missing, minor crisis, impossible solutions, jumbo shrimp, hot chili
3. deceptively honest, good grief, terribly good, low-key, festive tranquility, clearly
misunderstood
4. larger half, sweet-tart, butt-head, tight slacks, light tanks, magic realism
Alone together, we enjoy our time
and mostly we act naturally well.
We can be seriously funny too,
but deafening silence is hard to quell.
Found missing sometimes, a minor crisis of
impossible solutions that are made,
like eating tasty, tender jumbo shrimp
along with hot chili and marmalade.
And quite deceptively honest are we...
good grief, we are what's called terribly good.
Low-key, festive tranquility is ours;
we never are clearly misunderstood.
So pleased to be each other's larger half...
sweet-tart and butt-head, we are such a pair;
tight slacks, light tanks, and we are good to go.
Life's magic realism we do share.
