The Opposite is Also True

~~~

The opposite of a fact is falsehood,
but the opposite of one profound truth
may very well be another profound truth.

Niels Bohr
~~~

how particularly fine that a physicist
reminds us of the duality
not of the invisible laws governing us

but of the time gravity black holes
of the human physic and psyche
The Unifying Theorem
for the heart,
that explains away the
universe of confuse and agitate,
where fact and falsehood,
both mix max and
match

wager normative is opposites clashing,
for in opposition,
are the
root vegetables grown,
fruits from
the soil of attraction

explain better?

in the
the brain, the soul,
the heart, the body, the
whatever
root you chose
to know it by,
there are no laws,
no immutables,
all variable, no constants,
all vowels, no consonants but one
singularity

all contradictions
are opposite
solutions


for when we believe we love,
the opposite is also true,
we groan in agonized delights,
scream from undesirable disturbances
in our human force,
in shrieks, sighs, wails and moans
all are are variations on
A,E,I,O, and you

the noise of polar emotional
opposites,
making the same sounds,
exactly

I will love us forever,
or at least till next Friday...
She loves me,
She loves me not...

I despise
that I cannot help
but to think of you
almost every other minute,
my love,
you are
a sundae of dark chocolate of dislike,
bathed in the sweet caramel of desire

we
is a child,
of two
who
cannot necessarily see
I to I,
even as they stare into
each other's eyes,

foolishly thinking
since I see my reflection
in my other's eyes,
therefore I am in
my other

I
hold what
I
behold

I ramble and digress,
the simplest last,
always the best

in matters of the heart,
the opposite is also true,
this is the only
certainty

If
you can comprehend this,
If
you can deal with this,

you still only have a
50/50
chance of stumbling
into true love

but
*the opposite is also true
Loving another is so hard,
one must be one,
in order to monetize ,
the long odds
