Oil&Vinegar

Sandy Hiss

You wonder
how opposites attract

I say
we are oil and vinegar
each a separate entity
liquid
arrogant
proud
of what each has to offer
a bowl of salad
topped with croutons
bacon bits

Until one day
we are poured together
shaken
rocked
our zesty opinions
beliefs
blended into one

The differences still obvious
but now we share
our thoughts
ideologies
idiosyncrasies
onions
and Serrano chilies

Mixed baby greens
celebrate
our union
throwing confetti of parmesan
and shredded carrots

A perfect compliment
to the main course
