he loves her so he goes along
tolerates adagios and endless prayers,
although he sometimes despairs.

he likes monster trucks and the Blues;
she tries to act enthused
cheers the carnage with the crowd,
though clearly it’s all too loud!

somehow they seem to work.

she reads poetry and classic tomes,
drinks herbal teas and covets shoes;
he recites dialogue from Game of Thrones,
likes graphic comics and strong brews

someway, it all works out.

their friends don’t get along,
they can’t see the things that bind
get-togethers go horribly wrong,
but they don’t seem to mind.

they know each other,
in all their flaws
the one who loves,
the other who adores
the differences, more than a few…

it works, because they want it to.
