Eyes from a Dutch girl
Neither/Nor, Either/Or
Where do we go from here?
Presence/absence, Integration/assimilation,
Willy-nilly, hither and thither
Gender/Genre, Analogize/Apologize,
Endure/Enjoy, Tweetalig/Tweetallig (Bilingual/Binary)
What is, that is, what is? We aspire justice not charity.
Revolution/Evolution, dignity/Indignity, describer, prescriber
A twist in your history
Observer/observed, object, other, another
