Fragile Differences
I feel an important emotive
and cognitive
difference
between comparing differences
anticipating celebration of complexity
As favorably compared
to contrasting differences
anticipating degeneration into win/lose chaos.
The first feels right brain confluent
curious and confident about difference
and change.
The latter sounds left brain competitive
angry and afraid about difference,
climates and subclimates
of changing fragility v interdependence.
One speaks to me of gratitude
while the other hears negative
and elitist attitudes;
deep and wide rooms
for improvement.
