the opposite of standing still
is walking up or down a hill,
running backwards, creeping, crawling,
leaping off the cliff and falling,
turning somersaults in gravel,
or any other mode of travel.
the opposite of a doughnut? wait
a minute while I meditate.
this isn't easy. ah, I've found it!
a cookie with a hole around it.
what is the opposite of two?
a lonely me, a lonely you.
the opposite of a cloud could be
a white reflection in the sea,
or a huge blueness in the air,
caused by a cloud's not being there.
the opposite of opposite?
that's much too difficult. I quit.
Richard Wilbur
