Silly Nonsense

How do you navigate an illogical world?

You question my desire to live
Within my own head
A wonderland I created
But you, sir, have no right
To speak of logical faults
When you live in a world like this

Chaotic
Threatening
Curious...how mine is wrong

Governed by ridged conventions
That make no sense
To an outsider like me

Or you

Can change on a whim

With the flick of the right man's wrist

Or the rolling head of someone left out

A meaningless puzzle
With no ability to solve itself

And no requirement to do so
Only made worse by any attempts

You can't leave the never ending staircase

That's why it's named that, darling

All you have left to do is jump off

And hope on the way down you spot

Something to break your fall

All attempts to govern the chaos

Don't ever seem to tame it

People don't seem to realize

Their own absurdities

In the lies they tell themselves

In the rules they make themselves

The symbols and the signs and the swirling

Never ending times

Like tea at the hatter's home

A lovely little place

Where I'm free to be

And while I'm being

I'm happy here

Deeply secluded in my forest

Where logic mustn't make sense

And, yet, I am the one

Perpetually at fault

For seeking escape

From your supposed world

For not understanding

Your nonsensical rules

Silly conventions you seek to uphold

A perspective you refuse to understand

From the eyes of a child

Wonderland is all you've got

For it makes more sense than what adults built

And for adults who can not find

Their way out of the forest

Without smashing all the mume raths

Perhaps it is we who become

The grinning cats

Giving advice no one wants to hear

Trapped between here and there

We're somewhere in between

All we see is silly nonsense

In whichever world we choose
