Dice Rolls and Dinosaurs

lets pretend you don't know what dinosaurs are

lets pretend you've never seen a pair of dice rolled before

so if i were to roll that pair of dice

and it then turned into a dinosaur

if you've never seen either before

would you call that illogical?

or would you just stare and marvel?

and after one million dice rolls

and one million more dinosaurs

i bet you would bet

the next rolls gonna be a dinosaur

as we all do believe

that our future will always behave

just like our past

full of patterns

on top of patterns

and so goes our future

 

we think

(off what we see)

yeah interesting ...

our minds work like that ... it's what we know, what we have been exposed to, blue dino's must mean more dino's for sure ...

stepping away is something that seems relatively easy, but it isn't because our minds have already been imprinted with what went before ...

which leads me to remember once again that we humans really missed the boat on this on - how the heck did we ever limit or potential to only believing within the boundaries of our own exposed minds when goddamit there is so much more ...

to. think if that stepping backwards two steps and grinding to the left for one will give us the opportunity of a bond new angle ... but it's easier innit - just to say within our own safe existence ....

did I miss the point - probably, but I just had my first doobie in years and well,,,,, none of it really matters none X

This is very intriguing, and I loved the message it sends.

[Mario Vitale]

Amazing writing very fruitful like off the vine created from a masterful design
Loved the sheer meaning of its piece how you handled the word structure.
Simplistic to its message very free flowing no doubt structured you got here
United creativity in its piece very likeable message to impart

[Davidgeo]

It's not amazing writing Mario. Don't cow s**t me Mr Vitale.

Extreme's just a matter of relativity.

[Bundaloko]

Kinda weak stylistically, but the message is cool

[Davidgeo]

Fair enough.

Thanks for your input. I think you're right.

[Dinesh Kumar]

Thanks Richard.

Perception is kind of a strange thing when we really think about it.

Nice, I even liked the spacing and how the poem visually looks clean.

[Davidgeo]

Clean is usually a good thing.

Thanks for your review Guy. I'm happy you liked it.

[Delmar Cooper]

So, it is because it has been, and it will be because it always was, thus to continue until the cookie cutter wears out completely.

Or, until someone rolls the dice and sees a cocker spaniel. Let's pretend.

[Davidgeo]

Yes. Lets do that.

Pretend.

Interesting thoughts. I've been reading that we need to approach each thing as if it never happened before, or the world loses it's luster and are expectations of things going a certain way can disappoint us. I like your ideas and how you conveyed them.
