(I'm still searching for a better image accompaniment for this poem, I think. I might even try to do my own photo ART render? We shall see ... In the meantime, do check out this talented artist on Deviant Art.)
Q: After viewing this image for some time, it occurred to me that perhaps the designation of 'sanity' and 'insanity' in this image might not be so straightforward. What do you think? Which image represents 'sanity' to you? What about 'insanity'?
A: Well, after much reflection ... I think that the image on the left would have to be 'insanity' to me, because her eyes are closed. She's clearly somewhere outside this 'here and now' and the smile on her face says to me that she's happy ... blissfully ignorant, perhaps, but happy nonetheless. The image on the right --'sanity' to me-- appears to be looking on 'insanity' with a coherent, purposeful, almost envious gaze.

“The
Marriage of Insanity”
But
a thinly woven thread
Skillfully
threaded
Through
the needle
Of
Mind’s Eye.
Taughtly
pulled
And
sewn through
The
trappings of
Worldly
life.
Endless
vulnerability
To infliction
by
Disordered
Strife.
Would
were I
All
the better off
Without
it,
This
‘sanity’ …
Alas
to Sanity
I
find myself, in
Antithesis,
Inextricably wed.

.... And I just noticed something (per my post the other day, "Blue Destiny"), this woman happens to be the color of Destiny for me: Blue. Wonder what that means (why I chose this image)? Maybe nothing?
Here's a thought for you: Perhaps the nature of duality in its citizenry is what allows ordered societies to prosper, thrive(?) and survive?
