Great Friends of Mine

Two brothers on the couch.
Words bearing us out.
Things like spontaneity.
And how he's so much smarter than me.
The axiomatic things,
logic unspooling in strings,
a declaration at most.
A wayward riposte.
But this is exactly it,
the odd and clunky fit,
difficult to label
but precisely (precisely) stable.
I'm challenged and I fight
(though I'm no longer sure I'm right).
But we know now. We know.
This is the only way to grow.
More give and more take.
More icing, less cake.
