Doug's Peach

Rating: 5.0


The Theory of Non-Exclusivity states that:
Always right exists in left
And likewise left in right.

I went outside and picked a peach,
the episcopalian of the four.

Parts were ripe and parts were wrong-
if 'wrong' is 'not as ripe'.
And if 'wrong' is 'not as ripe',
then 'ripe' is 'right' for sure.

I ate some right, then ate the wrong,
then ate what right was left:
thus proving, sure as Al's my brother,
that neither right nor left is
exclusive of the other.

Life is a peach! A little conundrum nicely navigated. Reminds me on learning left and right. If right handed you write with your right and what's left is your left. If left handed you write with your left and what's left is your right. Nothing to do with the poem except for words...
