You say I'm
passiveaggressive
and I say yeah
because I lovehate:
There's no such thing
as eitheror
everything's always
all of the above
like the moon
in the sky
always there
just brighter at midnight
the phenomenon
is in every atom
the physicists call it
superposition
the cat is alivedead
and the best we can ever do
is guesswork
gravity isn't a force
it's warped spacetime
we've all felt it
life isn't like shifting gears
it's both
forwardreverse
blackwhite
goodbad
pastpresent
every virtue is also a vice
every sin a blessing
I am spiritflesh
I believedoubt in God
and when we make love
I givetake
you takegive
the answer is
always
all of the above.
I love/love this poem! It's one of my favorites! It's got a great cadence to it and it's central idea is so, so true. When you put together your next book of poetry (I am waiting for this event daily!), this might be a good choice for the first page in the book, the lead-off batter. It's a hit!
ReplyDeleteFunny kelp, I'm actually on the fence about this one (pun intended). But I'm super chuffed that you enjoyed it.
