unsimile

A giant magnifying glass 
installed by ants in self-defense 
is just what life feels like 
sometimes. If not by reasons, 
try by rhymes.

A picture book of syllogies 
that doesn't tell you what 
they are. It's not a "syllogism,"
please. You've wandered near 
and gone too far. 

A riddle of the plainest truth, 
a lesson learned of nothing 
much. Sometimes you have
to feel your way, and mean 
something you cannot touch 

and suddenly you realize 
that this is just what life 
is like.

It doesn't always go 
in words. It's not like trying 
to ride a bike, on or off 
a falling log, but 

sometimes it's okay to try,
and find out where you
get, alright. If down is ground, 
and up is sky, lie down 
a spell and say
goodnight.
