Untitled

Two halves of a whole:
One who can put up,
One who cannot.
Stoic and starver,
Autonomous depender,
Cold water running,
Hot on the boil,
Meticulous, tranquil,
Cantankerous, careless,
Chaste . . . and chaste . . .
(But not fond of chastity:
Abstinence makes the heart go bonkers),
Dragonfly-skimmer,
Dung beetle-drudger,
Lover of life and despiser of love.
