Paradox of the Boundary

Paradox of the Boundary


            If point A is black, and point B is white,
            and here it is day, and there it is night
            then what do we make of the points in-between?
            For surely it is plainly seen
            that somewhere there must be a border
            which, though its edge creates this order
            itself does not commit its troth
            to either side. So is it both?
            Or neither? How to read this rhyme?
            What place to place the time of time?
            For is the present old or new?
            And is the boundary false or true?
