An orgasm & a kick in the groin.
Miracles & Nightmares are the same coin.
Neither believable, neither are real.
Both names for things we don’t know but still feel.
One is a horror; the other a gift.
One weighs you down & the other can lift.
Either can teach & both carry relief.
Either confounds us & strains our belief.
All are a lie upon which we’ve agreed.
Words are endowed with the meanings we need.
