Complementarity
Whether you’re on the side of Love—
With Buddha, Sankara and Husserl,
Or on the side of Suspicion—
With Nietzsche, Freud and Bloom,
The principle of complementarity
Works for you,
As for Paul Ricœur
And for Niels Bohr.
You’re a participant observer,
Influencing the world,
Like the physicist,
Influencing the behavior of quanta,
Like the girl in a glass chamber,
Influencing the behavior
Of the vipers and cobras around,
Like the deconstructionist,
Influencing the behavior of the sign.
