In an odd illusion
in an even odder brain,
logic lurks in snake form,
belly filled with absolutes.

The tarnished coins around him
offer reasonable lies-
like love and hate can coexist
and blind men cannot see.
Opposites add contrast,
but are synergy deprived.
Shadows describe light
but are not its other side.
Gestalt coins are implicit sums,
existentially self- defined.
