Phantasmagoric Flight 213 Poem by K.M. Naumann

Wherefore such a cognizant concomitance? Do
we not repel as north ends
of two magnets? I believe moral law is ob-
ligatory, where, to my juxtaposed faux-Antinomian counter-
part, it is optional. Flesh ne'er became one, but
was the degradational sum of
commercially normalized exploitation.

We are two things. We- we...
a pronoun reciprocally incongruous.
He and I
are two things.
Two things
tantamount to the same product; but,
still, two things. How can I understand
this ambiguous reciprocal?

A mathematical approach - yes - where, together,
two dichotomized things multiplied
create a product, a
whole
integer, of one. This such product
has become a reciprocal, respectively,
to two things,
as in physiology - where two
things are repelling opposites (give/
take, excitement/inhibition, expand/contract)
and synonymously create one
thing.

He and I
naturally repel, just as north ends of two
magnets, as always was
and
will always
be.

But he
and I
have produced
a paradigm of paradox; and
what a phenomenal
prodigy!
