Two For One

Two For One                                                 

In the beginning

there were three of us

but we played shark

until

there were two of us

One womb

one bed

two lives

one will

We shared the homework

straight A’s

for a piece of A

We shared lovers

mirror-biased or breeder

and put notches on our handcuffs

One hand

one heart

we’ll cut this life together

rolling over any

who try to silence our whispers
