Unreasonable Reasoning

I’m dodgin bullets

in a flurry of fury rainin down on me

the battle of conversation

words with semi automatic action

spraying cover fire

for hidden thoughts

to get in position

sabotage language

destroy the meaning of all the words

towers are comin down

run kid run

get outta the way

flee the major cities

you don’t want to get caught between

superlatives and interjections

contradictions create a chance

to discover a hidden truth

but they’re being burned at the stake

for heresy

misunderstood

mistranslated

misconstrued

out of order

out of context

all in the same language

generalizations run rampant

everything is everything

black and white

in or out and no middle ground

but always a no man’s land

get down

i’m droppin grammar bombs

no more literary democracy

language is conservative

let metaphors be liberal

Be careful out there

be wary of the logic gestapo

who turn guidelines into strict regulation

freedom into unending laws

they turn logic back in on itself

stopping the flow

creating boundaries

We all thought the wall came down

it still stands unseen

confused, we walk around it

not knowing why we were stopped midthought

until minds reach out

we’ll be trapped like agoraphobic hermit crabs

screamin inside ourselves at the injustice of being disturbed

our tiny claws refusing to put up a defense

we’re at the mercy of giants
