If we are oil and water…

then

If we are oil and water,

which one of us is the oil,

and who is the water?

If I was the oil,

then I could make a stain,

and be hard to wash out.

If I was the water,

then I’d eventually disappear,

drying up and leaving.

If I was the oil,

then it might remind me of…

an anointing of some kind.

If I was the water,

then it might remind me of…

being water baptized.

Water and oil may not mix,

but they are attention-catching.

Water and oil can surface,

and survive,

for a season at least.
