one brain

I get the feeling we have one brain
Thinking the same thing at the same time
As happened just now reminding me
It happens often including yesterday

When we are together almost inseparable
Grown intertwined knowing each other
You speak and I hear my thoughts expressed
Sensing our synchronous consciousness

Sometimes you ask me to come up with a word
Giving me the first letter and the meaning
Since I enjoy solving crossword puzzles
The language function is my better half

Sometimes you tell me what bird is singing
Or any number of other things I forget
And so between the two of us
Our halves combine to make us whole

We are gentle quiet people contemplating
Understanding much without talking
Except to exchange ideas and information
Learned through our extensive readings

There is no drama since we agree
Just a contented companionship
Living our life together as a couple
Pairing our concerns and happiness
