Unity

One of those words that implies its opposite.

Not sure I can even imagine Unity.
Maybe I lack the requisite

piety. Ok, what’s the opposite
of Unity? St. Patrick says Trinity—
an exquisite

maneuver in the religio-numerical crapshoot.
Trinity and Unity are both Divinity—
and I’m trying to feel the requisite

spark of adoration in my foolish heart.
In the meantime, I’ll take the liberty
to mention some of the other opposites

of Unity—an opulent

set, including Diversity and Multiplicity,
tolerance and liberality both requisite

when we think of values we admire a lot.
We’ll count them till we reach Infinity—
plumb opposite
of One?—Unity’s wrecking site.
