More Or Less

4/29/16



Life and death
No and yes
More or less
The worst and best
Failure and success
Happiness and stress
Cleanliness and a mess
North, South, East and West
Wide awake or getting rest

Slow and fast
First and last
Small and vast
Fiction and facts
In the front and back
Falling apart or intact
The future and past
Treasures and trash
Used and stashed
Metal, aluminums and glass
Nowhere near or finally here alas
The whole thing and half
Above the dirt and ash

It'll melt and freeze
Among the land and seas

Here and there
By itself and in a pair
Common and rare
Clueless and aware
Not ready and prepared
Uneven and fair
Brave and scared
