We have one loving and one hating hand.
The loving’s made to hold each other like,
While with the hating other hand we strike.”

Can trust itself to go by contraries
The way I can with you—and you with me—
Because we’re—we’re—I don’t know

For things that don’t exist; I mean beginnings.

There are only middles.’”
