    BEYONDE REASON

    BEYOND REASON

    I took a trip one day beyond reason,
    But there was still a shadow of a doubt I wouldn't make it,
    And I was running out of time,
    The hands of the hourglass were disturbing,
    As the sand slowly ticked with each second,
    I realized I have been here before,
    Everything was five by five, Yet I was a foot taller,
    And my shoes didn't fit,
    I was a distorted vision in a pane of glass,
    Mirrored in a milky glaze of bouncing images,
    I could not grasp,
    The expiration date was getting closer,
    As I began to fall between what was simple to extraordinary,
    Landing on my feet like a cat,
    The stature of my presence gave me directions,
    Yet I was all thumbs and couldn't make heads or tails,
    Out of my predicament,
    Least alone as I spiraled out of sight,
    Adding up all the factors till it equaled zero,
    Then the eggshells I was precariously balanced on,  Broke,
    The sound was deafening as we raced side by side,
    I was thrown without reason, I hadn't a thought,
    So I just stood here shaking my head..........

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
