Dichotomy (2008)

The thought of you is not independent.
Flanking your smile are your stripes and rockers;
They set a boundary as clear and impenetrable
As the tape at a crime scene.

I could sit and listen to you for hours:
Every story, every wisdom highlights for me
Your dazzling intellect, and the career
That made you the man you are.

Do you also sense this dichotomy?
Does my laughter incite you to laugh,
While reminding you again of my youth
And my inexperience?
