The Juxtaposed Twins

What makes them so unique?
Is it their abstract identity?
Or is it being cast adrift?
Sure! Sending the Moon to Coventry,
Should not turn their manners abysmal!
 
For without the Moon
Revolving around the Sun
Life becomes devilishly
Complicated business
Oh! How isolated they are.
 
Their cumbersome lineage
Boggles the mind of the curious
But there they hang! Far outshone
The other Stars around them
Would they outshine the Sun as well?
 
Though their life soar
At the speed of light
In my eyes, they are
Just like a growing aspen
My beloved Juxtaposed Twins!
 
 
(For Mukhtar & Balqis)
