If all we know
is this or that,
man or woman,
right or wrong,
yes or no,
heaven or hell,

but all too often
mix them up,
and ask questions
that have no answers:

Why is there something?
Why not nothing?

and know not what
to do or say
when someoneclaims
his artful lies
are so help me true
and does not blush

or faithfully swears
what’s blue to you
is red to him
or the number 5,

stuff duality
in a black box
with other ideas
that make us lazy.
