Proof of Excluded Middle
by Ali
Age Group: Adult
The circle is open.
Kneel. Come inside.
What elegance, to deny:
the porcelain pitcher
is full, or the porcelain
pitcher is not full. The milk
breathes in tides,
like the moon with his ocean.
Come inside. Suppose
the pitcher is full: the white
porcelain sweats in meditation, one palm
open, one curled under to her
lotus belly. Between them
she offers up her possibility
to being emptied.
This will not do.
Come outside. The pitcher is not
full: the shadow
of her effort darkens her throat
past the bright muscles
of her open mouth. Between them
she sings the work
to her own fulfilling.
This will not do.
Come outside.
The moon is full, or
the moon is not full.
The pitcher holds his porcelain ocean,
or she does not. What elegance,
to know this, or not to know it.
Kneel. Or, do not kneel.
The circle is open.
