Non-Binaries

it’s never wrong and right 

never black and white 

always with poor framing 

truth escapes while we’re waiting 

 

you I can’t deny

“I” I can’t explain 

there’s another dimension 

that we’re always missing 

 

easy solutions feel so good 

crushing those doubts with boots 

if nature only gave us straight lines 

as if god was on our side 

 

it’s never green nor orange 

look to the forests 

the subtleties you miss 

haunt your dreams in an embrace 

 

Not those ones and oh’s 

We didn’t write the code 

We swallow contradictions 

Spitting them out when they explode

Robert, there’s a quiet power in how you dismantle binaries without ever shouting. The lines blur not just concepts, but identities — “I can’t explain” hits especially hard. This feels like a poem about seeing — or trying to — in a world desperate for easy labels. Beautifully done.
Regards,
Rolph
