Opposites Attract

What is it about you, anyhow? 

The way you groove to jazz -   
The way you move life around  on the dance floor in a cocky, sardonic way -
The way you temper vulnerability with a sneer

Your house is immaculate, Your schedule precise.
Is there room for me in either? Are you sure?

In the long run, Will our glaring differences Stare us down?

Can I love someone Who shrugs off recycling?
Can you love someone Who doesn't cuss?
