Repulsion

Rejection is
The fundamental, foremost
Mechanism by which
Any being, sentient or otherwise
Maintains
Manifests

No body
No form
Is ever a body or form
Without repelling
Dispelling
Keeping apart
Other
The foreign

Electrons repel
Electrons —
Cells, self, borders
Dispel, reject
The foreign

Identity is — boundary
Negation, repulsion
Rejection

Yet
Form or body
Is not — without distance
Space

Is rejection, attraction
Constituent
Of object
Or the fabric, space
Where they appear
To be

The cat attracted
To mouse
Attracting — rejecting
The cat
