An Identical Difference Poem by S. I. Rednow

If saving is to spending
What working is to playing
Then selfish is to lending
What violence is to praying

If shrinking is to growing
What leaving is to knocking
Then hiding is to showing
What bashful is to talking

If paying is to stealing
What loving is to hating
Then sickness is to healing
What marriage is to dating

If wanting is to needing
What laughing is to crying
Then hunger is to feeding
What living is to dying
