If The Answer Was Yes Or No – after Kay Ryan

If the answer was yes or no
it wouldn’t be that difficult,
would it?

One day’s breeze
smells of wisteria, another day
melting asphalt.

You are puzzled:
the sun glitters coldly
on a hot summer day.

A math produces
two results, you ponder
what each means.

In a bipolar brain
left and right struggle
to ever meet.

which to believe.

In a bipolar brain
left and right pulled away
then together again.
