The poem below is in response to the following prompt:
Oulipost #22: Antonymy
In Oulipian usage, antonymy means the replacement of a designated element by its opposite. Each word is replaced by its opposite, when one exists (black/white) or by an alternative suggesting antonymy (a/the, and/or, glass/wood).Original: To be or not to be, that is the question.
Antonymy: To not be and to be: this was an answer.
