Fire
Alight, Ablaze, Ashes
Burning, Burnt, Bussin'
Coals, Cooked, Cracking?
Shoot, fire & apple butter!
If I were a monkey's uncle,
And graaanny goose
On or under.
Off and Away.
heated, cool.
Sizzling in the frying pan
or out, aflame
bonny bonfires, yuppy yuletides, campy campgrounds
potshots at shot pots
lined up at lineups
pitted at trenches. entrenched at the pit.
voidlessly avoiding the void
echo, call & response
stomping barns, yards, and curbs
baking bread and brittle bones
roasting the bird
or Birthing anew
damned? or cleansed?
Fire

This interaction explores the human struggle with ambiguity, using the neutron as a central metaphor. We are cognitively wired for binary choices—all or nothing, yes or no—because they provide clear, actionable answers. However, this forces us into a false dichotomy, ignoring the vast, complex middle ground where most of life actually resides.
