the paradox of neither-ism
is a most difficult paradox
in and of itself.
as if, to create an astute witness to paradox,
to start with is rest assured challenging.
to see the paradox is every moment presenting,
is shocking to borderline astounding.
who do you tell that to straight away?
it's like becoming a spy obtaining evidence.
one could ask,
how can that be so?
that which was so wrought with truth,
seems so defined
yet also honorable by the opposite claimed,
having not come from
the world of their co-existence.
can truth be bilingual in this regard?
paradox is like a second language in belief
and yet there is another?
a world beyond neither ?
a way of witness-awareness that is more resolute,
a way of being that is more the broadcast of being
and less in receivership of all that is the surround.
who was ever prepared for that sense of balance,
that sense of presence flowing from within?
the method of experience is
so persuasively one-way over stated.
it seems like it is alway walking up stream
to the oncoming of the outer world impressing.
paradox has always been dumbfounding discovery,
broken glass refined by the beach action of life,
stink-fish concretized before my passing sight,
lies that are embedded with half-truths
and truths that are burdened with half-lies,
stories told as if arrows to the center core
yet wind conditions, length of flights
are never of mention,
journeys with only a preferred selection of details,
and accounts that feature topsides on display.
is this what meaning says
but also what it doesn't provide?
there is no hologram of truth evident.
sidedness is a spoken world.
paradox is the ink before hand.
a tree blindsided into paper as it stands.
neither is a beyond beyond perusal.
it takes to me to be beyond close inspection,
beyond survey or cross-exam.
neither-ism questions my methods of approval,
my means of self-report,
my positions of value and worth,
my front stage and back.
I am more than approval
waged against the contradict.
is there a world of existence
beyond the refrain of paradox?
a means of being beyond meaning's call?
an isness beyond the reach of recall
and we are all of that without regress,
this paradox of neither-ism?
this of the mind,
beating out the mind . . .
