Apparently, the same blood flows in our veins
and, we are, basically, “brothers” and “sisters” –
you and I, us – one big, happy family.

I see a familiar stranger when I look at you.
Yes, we have the same eyes and nose and Mickey Mouse ears.
Dominant genes, they say.
And, from certain angles, our expressions are startlingly similar.

But, what’s your favourite colour? Favourite food? Favourite
film?
Which school are you in? Which band do you like?
What makes you laugh and what makes you cry?
Do you like books as much as I do? Is shopping the magic balm for you?

Same questions asked. Nothing learnt.
Polite small talk as if afraid to reveal that
it looks like we have nothing in common...

Oh wait, we do...
We share... the same surname and that much, we both know.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Free verse is a form of poetry that does not use consistent meter patterns,rhyme, or any other musical pattern. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech.[1] ... Free verse is not easy to write, for there is no repetitive beat to lull the reader's critical faculty. Nevertheless, much pattern and discipline is to be found in free verse: the internal pattern of sounds, the choice of exact words, and the effect of associations give free verse its beauty.[10]
Because of a lack of predetermined form, free verse poems have the potential to take truly unique shapes. Unrestrained by traditional boundaries, the poet possesses more license to express, and has more control over the development of the poem. This could allow for a more spontaneous and individualized product.
