Two girls were walking arm in arm
Each right leg matched the other
Both the same race, both the same pace
Like twins, triplets, sisters,
brothers
Like two matched cogs, like two matched wheels
I'm sure that they sing together
Matched tee-shirts and matched umbrellas
Matched for rain or summer weather
Like two hear music. and both dance
Two see the same sight, and both glance
Two walk along a country path
Sit at a table, share a bath
Like a horse matched with a rider
Like two bike wheels or four car wheels
Each girl has a friend beside her
Who knows exactly what she feels
I am apart, I am outside
And yet I feel part of their scene
They are performing as I watch
Like a bride, singer, or a queen
Now they have gone like fallen leaves
Like memories of two roses
Part of the jigsaw of my life
Which my tiny brain encloses.
A happy moment which will last
I see arms locked, recall their laughs
Like a dog's four legs like two halves
As two girls arm-in-arm paced past.
