Abstract Beware

My equilibrium is unbalanced on the tightrope of reality

Circular checkerboards are on the square root of infinity

Black & blue in black & white must be true...(I read it in the paper)

Elaborate simplicity think electricity

Beware of deranged pretenders you never know what they'll do

Blondie was a brunette Bruno was a blonde so what

The matchbook got wet when I smoked in the rain de-light-ful

Comedy is tragedy is comedy is tragedy is is is is

A winter wonderland can only be seen at 90 degrees

Beyond the tribe lies a solitary man who's sick of the crowd

Crowded houses are usually empty MOO

Go for the gold pony stay golden courtesy of The Outsiders

Fires always burn til they go out and play

Quasimodo walked so straight does he give posture lessons

Kaleidoscopes can conquer anything live the dream

Mental breakdowns require philosophical tools

When smoke gets in my eyes I do not tend to cry

Lights out time to rest lights on time to go

Roll the coin flip the dice isn't that backwards

Not now later not now earlier make-up your mind

Exit exams excuse my french

The pitcher was beer the batter was ice glad I had a straw

Turkey in the straw hee haw

The exit sign was unlit the entrance was lit but I want to go out the in door can I

The night was the same the numbers changed

Bizarre bazaar

that's what these lines are

Author's Notes/Comments: 

this is a weird experimental one...I found some old poetry I wrote with a friend...she wrote one line, I wrote one... and just used my own lines so you don't see what she said and they were really out there...just wanted to share...what do you think? Do I need to delete? Need to add that this was written a long time ago         and yet people comment and relate as if it were written recently which I hope can be done with all of my poetry...I really love the first line. What do you think of it? Maybe I am just really weird, but that's ok... Pam

I like it, all the answers you have come to know as truths are no longer truths, much like life. You were given the way it should be as you grew up only to find that nothing is as it should be. No Ken and Barbie life, love does not conquer all, their is no fairytale happy endings. This is abstract, but it probably speaks more to the truth than we were programed to believe. lol, Well that is what I got out of it. It was a fun write, a true thinking write and well penned. PS

Whoa :P That is pretty out there. Some of it kindof reminds me of Nirvana's Come as You Are:
"Take your time
Hurry up
The choice is yours
Don't be late"
