Different

While the church bell rung and the baggages came
While the two are alike as the oceans and rain

The hungry dog and the garbage can
Are alike as the mouth being fed by the hand

And the heavy stone and the weightless leaf
Are alike as the ivories in pianos and teeth

An infant's crib and the funeral hearse
Are alike as the blessings
Twin sister, the curse

Should you not understand these words that you hear
What's like understanding them perfectly clear

'Cross naked flesh and the bead of sweat
Are alike as the thirsty's mirage that is wet

And the seeds I am and the soil you are
Are alike as my loving
How different you are!
