Never Meeting Eye To Eye

the left and the right eye
will never ever come to meet
but when they are next to each other
they enjoy a wider vision of the world

the right leg and the left
on their own would never
stand up but put them
side by side they can
sped away like a cheetah

the right hand and the left
could never shake away like
friends do but fold them
together they can move
even the god in supplications

the mouth and the anus
would never agree to meet
each settle at the opposite end
of the road from each other
the former considers the latter an outcast
yet without any of the other
each existence will be in vain
