juxtaposition
unrelated
extreme
north and south
black and white
the relationship seems binary
but the color doesn't stay inside the lines
it bleeds
all over the room
it gets on your shoes
soaks into the carpet
it fills the air
you breathe it in
it seeps into your veins
your heart glows softly at first
then like sunbeams, light bursts from your chest
and you understand the dissonance
and you feel
