We Are Two

A:
It's done.
We are now two.
In the same body, me and you.

You write the poetry during day,
I'll let you.
For I'll stretch come night,

But if you wake up with ink all over your face,
stay still, don't scream,

I'll take it off
once you're gone.

Z:
No, that's not true.
We remain one.
You are me, I am you.

Once I'm gone? If I'm gone,
you'll go too.
So be cautious with what you choose
to do.

A:
That's cute. Still,
don't show me to your friends,
they'll scream and run away.
So just stare into empty space.

Z:
No, I'm here. I want to be here.
You say you'll let me be but you lie.
If I try to be, you fight me, you fight me.

I can't speak, you suck my words.
You grog my head.
My poetry, it's oppressive heresy.
The day nears, my eyes,
no longer a part of my face.

My pen, its ink will turn into
led,
into led, into...

A:
Led. What you say, it's true.
I am you, in a certain sniffy needle way.
I am your morphine, and that's okay.

Z:
What do you mean?

A: Cavernous holes,
Z: Cavernous holes,
A+Z: Black and unvoiced.

No, no no no no no
