Floccinaucinihilipilification

Whilst I walk along this method described life.
I pick up pace, will and strife.
Next to nothing I climb to my destination,
A keen to structural juxtaposition.
Once I reach the place of willingness,
All I feel is floccinaucinihilipilificatiousness.
I grab a rope and ascend,
All the way to its end.
Once I am there, no one cares,
That only love, is what he shares.
Come one come all, come abstemiously hidden,
First, in front, second in the middle, third one in.
If you ad one more the middle becomes antepenultimate,
Make it this way, try it that way, only then can it be legitimate.

The Apathy Rule

Whilst I walk away from your embrace
Feeling and admiration disappear without a trace
It is the candles light that we incarcerate
From darkened corners, we deliberate
An estimation of an illumination
In the shadows penetrates.
Come into the dark, dark night
Let god’s love take a flight
It is your premeditated self-love
That over estimates your place above
Everybody has been reserved a place
Regardless of their religious race
So until you are more than a calculation
Of a righteous and pious population
Deficient in treating people with equality
You need to find individual impartiality
You can never be cognizant
If you are ignorant
When apathy is your rule
It is you who are the fool

Optical Mise en adyme

Glass over water what can I see?

Traveling over a reflective sea.

Parallel universe, optical mise en adyme.

Human consciousness, echoing paradigm.

An essentially similar form of recursion,

Upside down, inside out ocular illusion.

Time-invariant, to an arbitrary signal,

Akin to words, an easy colloquial.

One, Two, Three, Four,

Now I walked through an open door.

Five, Six, Seven, Eight,

What will I conjugate?

Dropping by access consciousness,

Opening up phenomenal awareness.

Framed with parallel glass,

Just how fast does time pass?

Dangling Participle

What is this, a dangling participle?

Why does it dangle so?

Without a clear antecedent,

To what extent,

For what event?

Shall we offer it a preposition,

A casual little phrase?

Something to join it for days and days.

Perhaps a clause is imperative,

To assist the narrative.

Bring it a subject and a predicate,

Maybe they will participate.

I don’t know,

they both seems so independent.

I guess it is just transcendent.

Oh I swear,

I’ll just let it dangle there.
