Halves.

If we cut the earthworm
in two pieces,
we might get two whole worms.
We might get one live worm
after the head grows back,
but the stress of being chopped in two
may kill both halves.

A slice of watermelon
has long been a summer staple,
but recent studies have suggested
that the juicy fruit
may stimulate libido.
You and your loved one can cut
into a cool slice and share
its amazing side effects.

Do not try to frighten, catch, or track
a snake.
If you find a snake,
back away from it.
Do not try to touch it,
even if it appears to be harmless
or dead.
Even the severed heads
of dead snakes
can deliver venom
through their fangs.

If half of you is me,
and half of me is you,
what happens to you
happens to me, too.
