two-in-one two

the difference between

resignation

and re-signation

 

or between

a performative rejection

and an even-ing acceptance

 

is the same as that

which lies between

truth-and-lies and the truth of the lie:

the lie of the truth;

 

such as the difference between

being so committed to identity as

to fall with it wherever it falls

and hyphenating the possibility of different commitments,

leaping over gaps;

 

between

It

and the re-main-ing;

 

between

an empire

and a world;

 

it is the difference of

saying yes to No

and no to Yes;

 

between

certainty

and un-certainty.

 

differences that change nothing

except everything,

of course

 

where it might be accepted that both

everything and nothing share too much

to be said as

one-thing-or-the-other
