Nathan Martin Poet I do not know?

Dichotomy

I could not tell the two of you apart.
 even when i tried to squint you just
 grew narrower

 and these words are slender stalks in a field 
seamless yet sperate, unrhyming yet punctuated. 

 i remember sitting in the kitchen with poor
 posture misspelling the word absence.

you collected a few of the absract moments 
to form are binary convoluted past personages.

 who spoke in the third person and misdiagnosed
 the moments before leaving only shades of 
gray pathologies for us to follow.
 
niether light nor dark.

  i tried to gather a little from the two of you
 to trace an opinioned outline of you on 
some paper, but the opinions fell down.

  so i used instead a magnet off of your refrigerator. 

you said something like..... what are you doing
 or i think im thirsty.

 a half empty half full glass sits on the
 counter across the room.
