april 17 . magnetic forces

Is it only polar opposites
that truly attract,
the rest left
repelling each other
for sheer distaste
of seeing their own likeness
in another?
The key, then, might be
learning to love the mirror,
reversing 
that negative pull.

Since Saturday's prompt was "a science poem," I thought about just posting the new Insane Clown Posse video "Miracles." Because it cracks me the hell up.  Seriously, please go watch it.  "Mothafuckin magnets, how do THEY work?"  Love it.  So much.  Hence the inspiration.  And then, of course, there's the SNL version from last night, "Magical Mysteries."  Which might as well have copied the song exactly--no real need to mock it, is there, when the song does the job itself?
