Tom and Jerry

We come from different backgrounds,
Raised with distinctly opposing political realities.
He is tall, I am below average in stature.
He was led to believe in the code of the fortunate.
I was imbued with a belief in community survival.
He is more self-assured of his position.
I need proof of my existence.
There are few certainties in my world.
He understands limits and exceptions.
I know the end of the story- …

He no longer owes me a coffee and a gelato.
