Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'poles Apart Yet the Same'

crooked in between the straight lines 
in full view somehow hidden
just like old times but everything is new

you whisper so loud my heart skips a beat 
drowning out the little things that made the most sense
the contrasts so obvious and we still pretend to not see them

it’s like seeing but refusing to acknowledge
that we are the same with differences weaved 
together
