Some Opposites
Richard Wilbur
What is the opposite of riot?
It is lots of people keeping quiet.
The opposite of doughnut? Wait
A minute while I meditate
This isn’t easy. Ah! I’ve found it.
It’s a cookie with a hole around it.
What is the opposite of two?
A lonely me,a lonely you.
The opposite of a cloud could be
A white reflection in the sea
Or a huge blueness in the air
Caused by the cloud’s not being there
The opposite of opposite?
That’s much too difficult.I quit.
