The Butterfly Lovers; My Poem...

So, we had a speaker today and she asked us to write a poem in response to the Chinese tale of The Butterfly Lovers. What made it more interesting, she asked us to do within about 45 seconds!...I was a little worried, but here's what i came up with...

He is She, or is He
I do not understand
Love could be for you, for me
But not with my brother, a man

He is She, or is He
There's something being concealed
Why compare us to the wife &husband or ducks
if who you say you are is not real

He is She; Yes, isn't She?
What else could all this mean
A sister, a twin, supposedly just like "Him"
Oh, what a fool i've been
So....what do you think??
