One and the Same
By Dalia Janian
The two pence piece you pull from
Your wallet’s deep pocket
Two sides to a coin
Heads or tails
This or that
I can be who you want me to be
I can be who you need me to be
Whichever will bring the most luck
Whichever will win your tossed bet
Their faces never meet
Seemingly ignorant to the existence of the other
Do they know the other exists?
Can they feel being inextricably linked?
A single side, meaningless without the other
A souvenir at your county fair
Power in duality
Mobile in versatility
Flick me up in the air and see where I land
