We stand, wondering
how to justify it all
Stop. Breathe. Fall
Don't you know how
the world's entangled?
It's undividable
inalienable a totality
whose parts mirror
death to life, we grow
Interwoven, apart.
We're justified across
this great divide
we think we see be-
'tween us, and beyond
the unbearable lightness
of being here together
now when we appear
so far and distant to be
torn apart by inequity
we fall through one slit
to drown in a mirrorball
crafted and planted for
a siamese dream split
down the seam as one;
a harlequin calamity.
