Ally (poem)

By Luke Labern

It's short and sometimes sweet:
Doesn't happen often, but when we meet,
Who could stop us? Two-person army,
Truly unstoppable -- the only way to calm me
Is to see your face, to know I'm not alone...
The purpose of this is to let it be known:
When you insult my being, it ain't just
Me who'll retaliate: no, my partner here will bust
A hole, three times your shot and
He won't miss: you may be sand
Hidden in a desert; but we are the wind
Who'll never lose. So we'll keep you pinned
To the floor, where you and dirt reside --
Our battle tactics to each other we confide...
This verse is simple and that's the point.
No hidden meaning, just oil to grease the joint,
That holds us together, to unite
For the inevitable: to withstand your fight,
To endure the pain, then we'll make you pay:
'Cause carpe diem, baby: we always seize the day.
