Channel Number Five

Come on you Two
Won’t you fuse with us Three
So that we no longer have to be
Rivals?

In an Olympic Golden Sovereignty
Of One on either side of offence
That makes you over
Into binary opposition

An oddly singular couple
Of thrust and counter-thrust
In action and reaction
That denies the even handedness
Of your giving and taking
To and from each
Receptive and responsive influence

A tidal flow that empties
As it fills and fills
As it empties
In a chord with circumstantial need
To keep a breast

In tune with Mother
Who can give
No more than she can provide
If she is to sustain her sustaining
Identity of one in All and all in One
A world with out end
In which none can begin
Without being taken in
Amend
