No Duality / I
Am Not on this Shore
by
Dan Vera
I cannot live on one
side
of the duality
which battered me as a child
I cannot claim membership
in this group
which has always silenced me.
I cannot live in a place
separate from women who reside within me
just as much as men.
I am neither neither nor or.
I am a bridge
or I am perpetually unbalanced.
