nash equilibrium

 

there is a within and the without

i reside in parallel. a finitiude

pegged to the earth,

and a deathless immensity that

clouds an astral other-world.

 

a constant tug between

your particles and your wave,

 

you swing between the poles;

in-between your mortal fear

and the light that burns at your

center coinciding

with the whole universe.

 

you writhe in despair; trying to

hold on to your opposites

 

till you precipitate effortlessly

to your nash equilibrium

of the complementing tao.
