when seeking truth
excavating sediment
and scanning density
of walls, walls, walls
we bucket and label
divide and ostracize
our grace felled
truth bubbles over
inside a *** of paradox
brimming with inconsistent
opposites
we force ourselves to separate
the mutually unexclusive
cutting the real
with ors
but the crux of true
lies inside the ands
real and surreal
easy and difficult
illuminating and confusing
painful and healing
beautiful and ugly
lost and found
utterly imperfect and
unparalleled perfection
never ready and
ever equipped
for
utmost exhilarating
and wholly frightening
