Notes About The Poem

Polarity vs Hemisphere
The left brain notes the minute details.
The right brain knows what can't be spoken.
There are two brains that think within my head:
One measures time and numbers make it spin.
The other sees the spaces in between
painting with darkness what the light cannot.
The left brain worries over grammar and form;
the right brain cares for poetry and song.
Opposing forces balanced on a thread,
A divided polarity and yet made complete.
They push and pull at the same thing together,
Forever different, trying to be one.
