Marriage is but dissonance
and discord a consequence
inevitable when Venus and Mars meet...
When bass and melody compete-
in the great Master Slave Debate
who will concede defeat?
So, did you expect
a mirrored self, a ditto?
A replica in thought and deed?
Why Narcissus was indeed
denied his Echo
and left to flower by the water's side...
Learn instead to discern,
have no cause for concern
There's beauty in dissonance,
and melody in discordance.
The occasional wrong note
needn't rock your boat
And to work in tandem
is at best random...
Why should I be the bow
to your violin?
Why can't I be a cello?
and we, a string duo?
