Hey Skip,
It's an interesting experiment, and works best when the opposites are TRUE opposites. That you shape a poem that is sensical out of this is amazing.
One can find meanings here that would be impossible otherwise, like:
"Wicked Good Daughter Wife with her Bold Shy Stop Go"
has a precise meaning for me, and I dare not say WHAT that is, nor is there ANY OTHER WAY to say it!
I choose to read these "together opposites" as making a "richness" or pluralism or wholeness--though the poem does demonstrate that this feels (on the surface of words) quite unnatural--feels "abnormal".
