One Plus One Equals One

Superpositioned,
   truth here and truth there

Unmeasured duality,
  a mirror contraire

Its message lies distant,
  its message lies near

A Siamese phantom,
  whose front is both rear

The sublime contradiction,
  one plus one equals one

Their nature poetic
  —each truth zero sum
