Nothin' From Nothin' What's missing from this picture, Becomes a great deal more compelling, Once you realize it can substitute, For anything it might otherwise contain. What comes around goes around and around, Reality without dreams is just someone's nightmare, While dreams without reality are someone else's fantasy. Stay awake too long, and you will hallucinate, possibly online. Close your eyes for too long, and the wonder of life passes you by. Wonder remains the beginning of wisdom, For those who are born to fall on their butt! Falling gracefully counts for extra points in duets! Darwin had an institutionally stunted sense of humor, And assumed life is merely about survival of the fittest! When sex assumes that you have already survived! And are quite possibly more creative than Darwin. Nothin' from nothin' ain't nothin' in Wonderland! Ya gotta have something, if you want to dance with me! (Billy Preston)
This is a nice example of some of the poetry I've been writing here the last week or so. Perhaps most of the shorter poems I've posted are ones I just make up on the spot. This one is an interesting "root logic" poem that will go in my collection. The distinctive shape is an indication that I have got it right or am on the right track. Sometimes its helpful for me to just take inspiration from whatever people post online, and I might have three root logic poems thanks to this website, which is a lot. This particular root logic is something I've been looking for diligently for a couple of years now. All thanks go to the immortal Billy Preston. Note that all the lines are stereotypical phrases, or almost stereotypes and platitudes.
