polarity

polarity
implies one --
a see-saw
with the crazed and compassionate
on one side
the pent-up and polished
with clammy hands
on the other

it really is one
light and shadow
two sides
of one
paradox

and it's fun
this game they play
the worlds in the balance

at least one side
thinks it's fun

and at least
the other,
slick in their
suits of implications
and innuendo
are getting some
exercise
are getting their stale garments
in the fresh air
