What is it about you, anyhow?
The way you groove to jazz -
The way you move life around
     on the dance floor
     in a cocky, sardonic way -
The way you temper vulnerability
     with a sneer.

Your house is immaculate,
Your schedule precise.
Is there room for me in either?
Are you sure?

In the long run,
Will our glaring differences
Stare us down?

Can I love someone
Who shrugs off recycling?
Can you love someone
Who doesn't cuss?
