What Is The Opposite of "Everything Contains Its Opposite"? - Poetic Reading

What is the opposite of 'Everything contains its opposite'? I was recently asked this creative, philosophical question by Dr. Bernard Beitman at the University of Virginia. It was in preparation for the publication of his Psychology Today article, "Does Everything Contain Its Opposite? Coincidences exercise minds by holding a polarity and continuum simultaneously." I have come up with a fantastical flight of fancy poem.

What Is The Opposite of "Everything Contains Its Opposite"?

A Rorschach Test

Be it Yin & Yang or Yang & Yin
Factor in a fractal gray
The color of hope 

Subtracting all bunnies, funnily
You have a paradoxically perpetually pregnant
Digesting & resting
Ouroboros

Odoriferous
Cinnamon synonyms
Somewhere over gravity's rainbow 
Why, there’s Buddha’s Bodhi Tree
Illuminated networked neurology
Aesthetic pleasing numerologies

Interweaving light & dark matters
Pair bonded swans
An Echo
A Prayer 
Birthing eulogies

Einstein's Tongue
Or Orwell’s 1+9+8+4
Four. For what? For forgetting, Oh well
Is it much ado about nothing?
Time to call it
That crazy little thing called love 

Broken records
Ripped CDs
Donuts & doughnuts
Zero on repeat

Leaving behind metaphors
Looking out for lost cymbals
Give me one literal translation, please 
There are no imperfect

Leaves
Behind
Me

"Brilliant! Your work is really quite different, a new kind of genre which everyone ought to be really excited about.” Professor David A Kolb, Bates College philosophy dept. chair (retired) and hypertext fiction pioneer compared my work to 20th century, classical music composer John Cage’s genius, experimental and influential compositions. “Nancy writes poetically, ironically, in deeply interconnected ways." -  https://dkolb.org/
