my

my funny bones aren't funny
my open eyes are shut
my empty purse has money
my shuffle is my strut

my flowing water's frozen
my impotence is power
my time of birth was chosen
my shit's a fragrant flower

my laughing's just my crying
my pleasure is my pain
my landing is my flying
my let-it-go's my blame

my nonchalance is minding
my living matter's dust
my losing is my finding
my calm disdain's my lust

my hatred is my caring
my mania's my sleep
my reticence is daring
my lion king's my sheep

now...trying to reason clearly,
as we know pink is pink
how many of these are really
much closer than we think?
