When Pearls Collide

Salt on quiet midnight;
Pepper, buzzing white;
They meet on marble floors
And dance away the bores.

One cannot tolerate
Summer any more;
The other shivers deep
Inside its very core.

Here at school, they
Have two choices:
Exchange their gifts in kind
Or suffer consequences.

For pan too red to clean,
Meat too frost to thaw;
They need each other's glean
To make it past the slaw.
