Shall I Compare Thee?

How do we compare ourselves
to the thick and thin of it?
Diametric opposites? Books on shelves?
Is it the length or the width
after all? We all spout off
the same, but it is worth
the time to explore rough and soft
textures, unearth
salty and sweet treasures
from beneath covered shadows,
revel in painful pleasures
of dizzying heights and bottomless lows.
Comparisons are the middle ground
between what is lost and what is found.
