I don't believe that opposites attract

But Likes Can Oppose

I don't believe that opposites attract.
I don't believe in opposites at all

What could be the opposite of brown?
Of gray?
What's the opposite of a circle?
A square?
What's the logic of that deduction?
Of you?
Are there opposites of Key Lime Pies?
Or cakes?
It's been such a profoundly bad thing
For us.
For humankind to measure things like
their fears
their differences and who has what.
They are
Taxonomists of hate. They are sick.
And still
Taxidermists of fate, make me hurl.

I don't believe that opposites attract.
I believe they cause us to maim, hurt and kill.
