These asymmetries
must have their reasons,
a needed distinction
between upper and lower edge,
a way to account
for a difference in pressure, or drag
They must be balanced
by a corresponding weighting
on the other side —
the existence of one reveals
necessities of others
Nature doesn’t deal
in imprecision,
doesn’t throw any shape
carelessly about
Any distortion reveals the influence
of other forces,
the partnering in patterns
greater than oneself.
