gemini

gemini girl is split down the middle
her hair beyond the pale blue eye
rough hand seeking to brush tears from the brown one
like a Picasso, square breasts, cubed fingers
clasped together
beholding the fragments of the future
brushing away the past like crumbs.

she always wakes up with a headache
for the halves never meet.
one side is shy
one makes love in a public bathroom
one side tells them they aren't bothering her
the other yells in their faces

she can't help herself.

she wants the country air
and a shining towering condo in the city.
she wants another baby to smile upon,
she wants to give the ones she has away

consumed with a split vote
neither party winning
neither one to rule
