There are at least two meanings to everything
A bird in the sky is both liberty and escape
A mouth on a breast is nourishment and luck
A prick on the run can be frightening and fun
...
We tend to pick one meaning over another
inclined to always choose the right one
Sometimes the wrong meaning wins out
Less votes for one may mean more for many
...
A truth tends to have only one meaning
One plus one is always two
unless one of the ones is more
like a pregnant woman before it’s out
...
Giving something meaning when the truth is unknown
is a recurring problem with almost everyone
No truth no meaning no meaning no truth
So is the condition of life on Earth the Moon and Mars
