Today's word is "antipodes" ... an-TIP-uh-deez ... places diametrically opposite each other on the globe. those who dwell there. (Dictionary.com)
Equator
How do we communicate,
With those at the antipodes?
They are so very different,
By great and vast degrees.
Things they learned when they were small,
Were ideas unlike ours,
Now that they're talking to us,
Their logic has no power.
It's going to take a long time,
Before we see eye to eye,
But trying is the battle,
That may win them to our side.
