Free-for-all

Two-of-a-kind meet here,
We two of two, only kin by kindness,
Bent for mutual gain.

Peer-to-peer
We don’t see eye to eye now, instead
We go at it head-to-head,

Side-by-side, then back to
Back-to-back, facing off blindly. But when
Our on-the-spot

Hand-to-mouth resuscitation
Devil-may-care existence ends,
We become a one-of-a-kind

Free-for-all body
In many parts
Searching for unity,

An anonymous mutiny in our
Policy of freedom from form
For one and for all:

For we are created equally unequal;
Even formally joined by these hyphens
Of DNA, of love, of inconvenience.
