Analysis of Two To Tango
A single thread,
Strays from the rug,
Time and work,
Undone by one.
If a minescule spot,
Grows too hot,
Or too cold,
The sun is blemished.
A toe in the water,
On a sea of glass,
Destroys the calm as it
Ripples, ripples, ripples.
One was enough
To destroy,
But it takes a second,
To entice.
