Debate by Sanjeev Sethi

finding
righteousness
in polarity
each perspective
an outcome
of optics
a by-product
of its tendentiousness
your correctness
is creation
of your cosmos
every verdict
a version
of its colophon

  • Who is the photographer? is this what the editors mean by the phrase "suspend disbelief"?

    • Any time I can provide photographer attribution, I do. Some photos are listed as 'public domain' without a photographer's name. If you happen to know the photographer, I would love to add a name to the image.

      I'll have to write more about 'Suspend Disbelief'. This refers to those folks who profess to dislike poetry or flash fiction. The suggestion to suspend disbelief is encouragement to dive in and discover something new. Thanks for the good questions!
