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