When creative partnerships develop unbalanced dynamics

My collaborator and I are poets who perform together and we've developed this beautiful stage chemistry but lately I've been feeling like I'm always playing the straight man to their more experimental work. In our private writing we're equals but something about our public dynamic has shifted and I don't know if they've noticed or if I'm being too sensitive about creative billing.
