Coffee & Cigarettes - Jim Jarmusch
One convinces me I am awake
One, that I am alive
Neither necessary
Or conducive
To either/or
Both pursued with fervour
Just the same

Succint but powerful, and the re-read made it hit home J. Nice! Like your point about neither being conducive or necessary too.
Short, but stuck with me. Loved it!
Nope, don't need a heartbreak to tell I'm alive. Heartbreak is not welcome for me, lol. Loved your poem!
This one left me pondering. The best written poems always leave me pondering. Like a fine tuned riddle that no one ever guesses but deep down everyone knows the answer. Excellent work J.
And without them, how would we know? Well done?
I felt this in my heart as warm regard and in my belly as a laugh! Well-wrought!
