All and nothing

Differentially,

Faults weren’t yours,

Faults weren’t mine,

 

It was a general concoction,

We couldn’t align,

 

Inch by inch,

Foot by foot,

The stars moved aside,

 

To set space,

For the spike of your shine,

The spike of mine,

 

Jags and jars,

Hurt near and far,

 

In General,


In Particular.
