the things we do

And I think it's funny
that I will never enjoy banana pancakes
with you on a Sunday morning because you can't stand
the taste of bananas.

It's also funny
that you will never enjoy skiing
with me on a mountain because my bones will break so easily
and I'd fall on my face most likely.

I will never make you a peanut butter sandwich
for lunch and we will never enjoy fajitas
with green peppers together because
I hate them.

I will probably never see your wild side
and you will probably never see the side of me
that does things I regret.

but
(in between)
of our little lives and little likes and little selves

We will find a place where
I pick the bananas out of the batter
and you pick the peppers out of the pan

and it will be okay if one or two get through.
