A gypsum and a tarot card
May be similar in that
Some may think
They will display
Your future.
But a gypsum is just a rock
And a tarot card probably
Belongs to someone
Looking to scam you.
A rose and a candle
Are the same
In which they are both
Used to sway someone
Off their feet.
They may also be the same
In that they will later on
Bring bitter memories
From that time you organized a date
Just to be left hanging.
A date stamp and butterscotch
Are the same in that
They probably both remind you
Of your grandma.
With her incessant letters
And her bowl of candy by the door.
Although the last date stamp
Was two years ago
But you still find her candy
In forgotten nooks.
Curry and root beer
Are both the same
In that they both give someone
A family memory.
But one probably belongs
To a family living in poverty
Seemingly far away.
And the other one
Is a reminder of yearly
Sunday Superbowls.
And overall
Purpose and accuracy
Are both similar in which
They are both intended.
But often leave one
Disappointed.
Waiting.
Wondering if it ever mattered
At all.
Similarly
