Others

What is silly to some

is serious to others.

What is life-threatening

is life-saving for another.

What is prudent and wise

is foolish in other eyes.

Both have nightmares

that disturb their slumber.

Both have hopes

that awaken their wonder.

Both have trouble

hearing other voices.

Two universes;

one planet, divided.

Friends twist into foes.

Stand back-to-back –

walking away from each other.

Twenty paces; turn and fire.
