Worlds

WORLDS

I switch
from one to the other
on a regular basis.

One delivers bread
the other, 
space and comfort.

Acclaim is not
in a high place
on their agendas.

When one world
tires of me, it sends me
to the other with a headache

When I grow tired of the other
habit takes me out
on an unwinding mission.

Neither of my worlds
contemplate a merger. 
They hate the rubbing of shoulders.

Grudgingly, they acknowledge my presence. 
When I’m around no more,
None will be the wiser.
