Consider the Worker,
from West he comes,

Consider the Dreamer,
who through elusion thrives,

Tied in dreams and westward bound.



Perplexing details,
nurturing the Worker’s flesh

Enigmatic frenzies,
sustaining the Dreamer’s life.

Coupled opaque like clouds,

Through sky, their limit, queries arise:

How Westward West distends,
‘til West grasps East

How far clouds extend atop the sky

Aimless confinements lie.

Consider their affinity,

The essence of liberty

This poem is about although some things may seem like polar opposites they could be very similar. Thus one should not make prejudice judgements.
