Split Mind


My mind is a split mind,
running forever back and forth
between what it thinks it is
and what it thinks it isn't.

As I watch it run and run,
I see that what it thinks it is
and what it thinks it isn't
has nothing to do with what it is.

Polarization

Athens and Sparta
War between two ideas:
One holds that power
Expands from using talent
Of all citizens
Regardless of race or gender.

The other believes
Those few with guns keep
Everyone in order
To obliterate
Any squabbling republic
Promising people freedom.
