tin horn sorcerers
we live day by day
within the binary
of black and white
256 shades
of discernment
crunched into
the brutal limitation
of black & white
this &that
up & down
and when
it all begins
to fall apart
the default position of
this good
that bad
becomes
the heuristic
from which
we midwife
the world
with its shimmering skin
into black and white existence
what tin horn
sorcerers
we become
and who would have thought
original sin
could be
so delicious
so addictive?

As always, you make magic.
The telling of this, that we create the socially constructed rubric and limit it so severely that we all end up, generations deep, seeing two colors when there exists an entire color science
This, fucking brilliant way to execute the monotone trope: m
“the default position of
this good
that bad
becomes
the heuristic
from which
we midwife
the world”
That is fucking art.
Back to the message because that wasn’t the message, it was the buildup.
We exist in two-tone because that’s what they say to do…
But what if we didn’t… how much better would it be, how much more enriching, vibrant and delicious.
Glorious stuff

Betty, gotta tell you: your comments always hit with tremendous force and perspicacity. Gawd, haven't used *that* word in awhile.
TY, hon. I promise to get back to you sooner than soon, but I have a neurology appt coming up in a few.
You made my day. Yet again.
You are 256 shades of delicious.

"the default position of

This is evidence to when they say poets are philosophers.
