We went our separate ways
Overstaying painful days
Together tangentially, bipolar proximates
Entombed, penitentiarily, unipolar opposites
.
Who was plus, added to who was minus:
Camus added to Thomas Aquinas
Courtshipping guilt-tripping when doing the math
Step out dripping from the draining bloodbath
.
We were right to distance from who we've been
Wobbled uncertainties 'gainst crumbling linchpin
We, equally opposite — neither victim nor hero
All summed up, we add up, simply, to zero
