DISSENSION IN THE RANKS

The Great War 
of Our Selves 

is fought part 
against part.

Of our highest marks 
and basest fears, 

we like to think 
it's night and day;

the contrast always 
seems clear, we assert.

Yet, our souls 
break like flocks 

which tend to graze 
on both sides of the line—

and who's to say, anyway, 
precisely what time

daytime ends 
and nighttime starts?
