Simese Twins-2nd try after I forgot the poem

If we are so close
That we are touching
Physically connected at the brain even
We will still never overcome
The distance between one another
That separates us
Making us perfect
One of a kind
Individuals
The closer we come to jumping the chasm
The more we realize it is bottomless
And trying to be more alike
Only points out the differences
Ever so much more
No man may be an island
But we are all glaciers
Bumping into one another
In a sea of the right temperature
That does not allow melting
Or growing
Just changing

i like the first attempt better. wait...is this a vote? shoot.

yeah on nanowrimo. all people are gluttons for punishment, at least we're not having a sixty-year old tribal woman give us a full body tatoo the traditional way.

This one made me think about how isolated we are in society these days.

Yes Sara we are, I liked the first attempt better as well Jared-just because it was the real thing-raw, this was just me trying to find it again-and even the same mind can't produce anything even similar minutes apart.
