Halfway Right

all things are halfway right,

a prior work of art stated

is that the correct fraction

or just a value pulled from

the crack of a homeless

hayseed's a*s?

as if the homeless

hayseeds can perform

mental mathematical magic

in addition to possessing 

vocal pipes of gold

but one should never

disparage the downtrodden

and those without

roof ownership

because karma

can be imagined

as wearing a

black robe

and carrying

a sling blade

all subtle knife like

humans bisected and

trisected like angles,

segments and

pieces of cake

a sometimes gruesome reality

but an all the time metaphor

for the human soul or spirit

or whatever any religious

tradition calls it

we are shattered beings,

pieces of sharp mirror glass

reflecting the events back

onto the memorial eyes

maybe all things are halfway right

or a third way right

or a fourth way right

or a fifth way right

either way,

life is or maybe feels like

an infinite harmonic series

always diverging

never converging

this is absurdity at its finest

we can map stars in the sky

and on paper but the nature

of star stuff itself may never

be truly known

the solution to that query

is one out of infinity

There is a non-linear something in the way you write that has the potential for very fine and original verse. I especially liked this stanza:

we can map stars in the sky
and on paper but the nature
of star stuff itself may never
be truly known

Always good to read your words and thoughts. The lines underneath I believe.

I do believe in karma and being kind. We never know where we will end up? Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

Thank you, Coyote.

halfway right is halfway wrong, which is all it takes...zeno would like your style

[Kenneth The Poet]

Agreed, there is no middle ground. Points aren't physical, neither are lines or planes. Geometry, in the Euclidean sense of it is based on contradictions. I thank you for the review.
