Einstein's Tongue

I was recently asked this creative, philosophical question by Dr. Bernard Beitman at the University of Virginia. What is the opposite of 'Everything contains its opposite'? It was in preparation for the publication of his Psychology Today article, "Does Everything Contain Its Opposite? Coincidences exercise minds by holding a polarity and continuum simultaneously." Here's my fast & fantastical flight of fancy poem & poetic reading.
Einstein Image Credit - "The image that the Guardian calls "arguably one of the best known press photographs of any 20th century personality" was taken on March 14, 1951 — Einstein's birthday. The scientist was leaving his 72nd birthday party at Princeton University, which had been swarming with photographers, and was understandably tired of smiling all night... Arthur Sasse from UPI was lucky enough to capture the split-second shot."- https://www.discovery.com/science/Story-Behind-That-Wacky-Einstein-Tongue-Photo
