A Möbius strip
is a ring with a twist
which if you trace on it
has only one side
and only one edge.
What no one will say
though it’s plainer than day
is that at any point
it’s got two distinct sides
and two distinct edges.
A little like history:
if you define
the direction you’re going
as progress there’s only
one side. But the fact is
each now there are two.
