Closeness

 A rubber band is made to stretch,

But its power is to contract.

It is a close binder of goods--

It unites what it keeps intact.


Love is a binder of people--

It surrounds as a loving net.

It stretches around to include,

It contracts to make intimate.


We can resist it till it snaps

Or wear out its pulling matter--

One is painful, one exhausting,

And in the end we all scatter.
