Identical? Never! I'll strongly deny
There's any resemblance between you and I!

[i]For once in our lifetime, I have to agree
Since [b]I[/b] know the phrase is "between you and me."[/i]

You're bloated and gassy, your helium core
Engorging grotesquely as never before!

[i]We're both of us growing, our hydrogen shot.
Acceptance is better than weeping and snot.[/i]

It's lies! Propaganda! We're sprightly and young!
A million? A billion? Just words on the tongue!

[i]Our planets are cinders, our cluster's advance
Proceeding apace through the stellar expanse.[/i]

These others are stodgy! They never respond,
Ignoring my comments! I'm not demimonde!

[i]Flamboyance confuses them, destined to fade
To sputtering sparks in the cosmic parade.[/i]

They're petty and jealous! The brighter I shine,
The meaner the gossip, the snider the whine!

[i]We'll make an impression when both of us go
While they'll be forgotten, reflecting our glow.[/i]

We're going? I hadn't expected to move.
And packing is awkward: I might disapprove...

[i]It's natural, sister, a fitting demise
To stars of out talent, ambition, and size.[/i]

Demise? You mean [b]death?[/b] I'm not ready! I've still
Effusive arrangements and goals to fulfill!

[i]Finale and curtain: we'll give them an act
To light up the heavens! We'll never contract![/i]

I don't understand, but you've always been smart,
Supplying the wits while I handle the art...

[i]Our novae will blossom and capture the stage,
Unrivaled by anything else in this age![/i]

I trust you. I'm sorry I argued and spat.
We've always been sisters, and that will be that.

[i]Together again as we truly should be.
You ready? A-one and a-two and a-[b]three![/b][/i]
