OPPOSITE DAY
a kite is in many ways the opposite of a star
in that it never actually gets there
like floating is the opposite of bravery
because it doesn't take anything
which is okay because differences often bloom horizontally
(no longer opposites)
that same string gets used for that perfect guitar
for someone that would otherwise not have any music
at all
because the opposite of rich is not poor
and a single butterfly can become a whole reservoir
so what if a flamethrower like most machines is the opposite
of love
if mutation is the opposite of growth
and jungles are the opposite of anything resembling innocence
the sky is still the opposite of mostly nothing at all
