Two By Two

Here's Big Frank's latest poem. It harkens back to the discussion on symmetry and the dichotomous view of the world that we all love so much.

Two by Two
By Big Frank Dickinson

Two kinds of universes: you and the rest;
Two kinds of fear: courted - suppressed;
Two kinds of thoughts: welcome and tossed;
Two kinds of hope: realized and lost;
Two kinds of seasons: onward and old;
Two kinds of miracles: humdrum - untold;
Two kinds of journeys: away and return;
Two kinds of memories: savored and burned;
Two kinds of substances: solid and foam;
Two kinds of love: delusion and home;
Two kinds of shouts: yippee and oy;
Two kinds of songs: sorrow and joy;
Two kinds of desire: hidden - disclosed;
Two kinds of past: constructed - imposed.
A flood of confusion predates their arrival.
The neatness of pairs ensures their survival.
