Or
Is a dangerous word
Or
Can be this
Or
That
Which loads both words
Like a gun
I
Am
Either
Or
What does that look like?
Healthy
Or unhealthy
Good
Or
Bad
Right
Or wrong
But life’s not like that
Even though our brains
(Which desire clarity and ultimatums and black or white real time tangible answers)
Like it that way
So they constantly try and shove things into a box
Label and ship it to whatever state of consciousness we happen to be in
Feel free not to participate
Because
Or
Leaves no room for negotiation
Take your choice
Now
What do you want?
With a life of extremes
The thing is
When we live in corners
Polar Opposites
When we choose ultimatums
We lose
All the good stuff that is in the middle
“And”
Is a much better word
I like it
It makes sense
Good and bad
A little bit of both
Not too much either way
A little grey
A little mix
It makes it much easier to pick my way
From moment to moment
To spread out
And take it all into consideration
Relaxing
Accepting
Nothing is perfect
