The urge to preserve and to cast away
Seem related somehow in human brains,
There with the urge to burn down and conserve.
Does it necessarily have to be
Anything to do with opposition,
Or binaries, or built-in positions?
Maybe it is just a case of the brain
Knowing something that the self does not know,
Like a neighbor who is in on something
About the nature of the neighborhood
You are not and likely never will be,
Although it is a place you never leave.
The lights on in the bedrooms every night
Glow to show dark is close to taking flight.
