Two Poles of Personality

Two poles of personality arose in you today –

erections whose eruption caused

a bit of sway and wobble in your equilibrium:

one could not stop saying what it thought:

the other seemed abstractly caught

in an impenetrable silence. They mixed

uneasily, unfeasibly, yet you -- on balance –

managed not uncomfortably to go on. Strange

their co-existence didn’t cause you more alarm.

Perhaps, in fact, they’d settled on a pact.

Complete dissociation may, for them,

and you, have had some charm.
