Position, Opposition, Supposition
To say one thing is opposite
another is to presuppose
they’re not the same thing
or at the same location.
It also raises implications
that yet another viewpoint must exist:
a somewhere else or something else
declares them opposite, which means
that there’s no perfect opposite
of any thing including that third party.
It’s just linguistics, its convention
of nullification: on-off, light-dark,
good-evil each defined
by absence of one quality. Now, in
the matter of man-woman, what’s
that quality... and what is it not?
