From sparkling windows see
The spires of the New
Jerusalem a-shining.
Here’s no iniquity
To vex or trouble you
Or mar your soul’s refining.
you nailed it here, xanadu, two equal and opposite attractions; i know full well that they both exert a pull on you.
which is as it should be, for what good is an unequal fight?
better to lose a close one than win by a ridiculous and thus futile margin.
