u is a cup of water
i is a one-eyed fish
living in a cup of water
u is a very big net
i is a wingless butterfly
caught in a very big net
u is a happy little boat
i is the arms of the sea
holding up a happy little board
u is a horse-shoe magnet
i is for iron
drawn towards a horse-shoe magnet
u is everything to i
i is not anything without u
u and i should always be together
u is well rounded
i is simple
u is aesthetic
i is dull
u sometimes needs more space
that’s good because i can fit anywhere
u sometimes needs to belong somewhere
that’s also good because i is like a sturdy wall
u can lean on i anytime.
if u didn’t want to be by i anymore
that would be really sad
because i would be like
a fish without its one eye
a wingless butterfly without its antenna
an arm of the sea without the hand
a singular candle dark and unlit
because i would be like
iron without the i
wrong.
