I know we’re not the best fit:
You’re brave and smart
and strong and wild,
and I’m a devoted reader of Corn Chip Monthly.

I get that our heads aren’t always
in the same place
or even the same stratosphere.
I see we’re different
and not the match
that heaven makes.

Still
There’s something to it.
Something in us
– a chemistry
or biology
or some physics-sian sense
of polar attraction,
isn’t there?
It can’t be just me.
You feel something here
don’t you?

And anyway,
when a square peg tries
to fit the round hole,
with enough attempts,
that wood could start a fire.
