Right is the ghost of wrong,
Wrong the ghost of right. Paired,
Of course, that old canard,
Can’t have the one without
The other, and the one
Is always positive
Or has the upper hand
Over lesser other.
Makes it easy to think
Right is day, masculine,
Yang, and wrong is moonshine,
Yin, feminine, so on.
Then you can write your books
To right that wrong: wrong’s right.
But that’s not how they haunt
Each other the other.
Right haunts wrong, wrong haunts right,
Since they embrace the fight.
