Juxtapose you did go on forever. Not forever. Today. Not today. LOL. Okay, I'll stop. This is clean and simple and profound as Chinese fortune cookie wisdom. I get it. Makes sense. Doesn't make sense. Oh lord, look what you started!
A pleasure to read as always,

juxtapose for a minute we had speech impediments
one man's "close together" is another mans chasm
"contrast" does not seem to equate to black and white
perhaps "balance" would suffice for old Mithter Webthter
however Microlyctics (this is not a plug for the co.) little pocket sized thesaurus reads: Juxtaposed/
adj. shutting, adjacent, alongside, bordering, close by, connected, contiguous (thats a good word too, eh?), local, near at hand, nearby, neighboring, outlining, regional, touching, verging on
Oh, balanced reciprocal saw
always ready to work the floor
etching lines that swerve and sway
passing through metal as if hungered
by the words of crew men on break
sipping and tasting sweltered scripts
in placid August airs

I do always enjoy your comments, Crowheart. Sorry about the delay in responding, but I had to digest.
I do like that word contiguous too!

Awh..yes! Juxapose if you like for opposites are the spice of life. I of course wasn't aware of its defination and had to look it up. See... you've been instructive and that is a wide chasm of a void with me! Ha! Loved it!

Last week the word just "popped" into my head, and I had to look it up too! Plus I've got another little ode I'm still working on wrapped around the word.
Thanks, suseann!
