duality
portrays itself
in common things
to examine them
is much like
self examination
therein
lies
two sides of one item

the patient is in need
of morphine
to ease his pain
the injecting of the drug
brings relief and calm
to his ailing body

the druggie in ***** lane-way
shoots up with an unclean
needle
he's in a dire position
transmittable
disease
in his system
a time bomb is ticking

a commonly used instrument
such as a syringe
gives and insight
into duality
which
abides in one item
