Saw a butterfly today
Could not tell if mating
Or if carrying a dead comrade
The weight and stillness of the other
Made it impossible to tell whether it was sex or death binding them together
What is the difference, really?
To orgasm is to die for a second
To die is pure bliss
Sometimes it is hard to tell if one is being violent
Or protective
Loving or destroying
And in order to protect, you sometimes have to be violent. The opposites are not really opposites in the end.

There are no dichotomies, no binaries. Trying to sniff out binaries is a fool’s game. This is a really good point.
