I decided to combine the themes.

There Is Only One Me

Depending on the hemisphere
               and whom one might be talking to
                              there is only one Me settled
                                             in dialogue most of the times

Give or take and given the choice
               I would settle for that but
	                      then I find my druthers
		                             in Ying and Yang 

There are days when the Ego sets in
               and the Self and dichotomous voices
	                      perform the splits on a mental trapeze
                                             hanging in polar suspense
			
Ooh that hurts when
               harmony balances in disassociation
	                      and the safety net bounces when
			                     vociferous yo-yos transcend

Up and down from right to left
               a square rooted conundrum 
	                      proceeds as the tiller man 
			                     turns in delirious jester’s court

No final judgement just
               one glimpse in the prism
	                      gold from the rainbow
			                     and the treasure my lover
