When Differences Converge

One’s idea of Heaven Is another’s view of Hell. That explains why many lives Stay strictly parallel. Rural folks may shudder At the city’s crowds and noise, While urbanites rank bustle As among their daily joys. Some plan for vacations Which, to them, suggests a cruise; Others needing culture Might find such a trip a snooze. Many go to dinner And enjoy a juicy steak. Vegetarians prefer Their “meat’ when it is fake. Sometimes choices intersect And differences converge, Providing just a little taste Of someone else’s splurge. It’s good to be receptive To another’s choice or style, Though in terms of what you like, It might be off by, like, a mile.
