Why Compare

Why compare the rare to the unheard? Dissonant to alien?
Why compare one love to the next? Animals to oranges?

In point of fact, we shouldn't this
There must be higher ground from where it all makes sense
We can't help ourselves, skin here, skin there
One mouth, another

Why compare the rose shaped to the pear? The mute to the unstated?
Why compare having you to not? The lazy to the graceful?

Don't lose your footing, there is a difference
How can we get the distance, to take it all back
We can't help ourselves, wine red, blood red
One mouth, another

Why compare the rare to the unheard? Dissonant to alien?
Why compare one love to the next? Animals to oranges?
Why compare the rose shaped to the pear? The mute to the unstated?
Why compare having you to not? The lazy to the graceful?
