Perspective - A Journey into the Nonsensical

"Are you really sure that a floor can’t also be a ceiling?”
― M.C. Escher

Depends on perspective

Look from afar at the world and you’ll see

That up can be down and down can be up

Perspective also means

Down is from ducks

But don’t duck and weave.

Duck and cover, and don’t be left

For left is right if you don’t duck and cover

And right is good

And so is greed (some say)

Who is that some

Some say someday

Where day becomes night

And knights defend damsels

Do days defend damsels too

Damsels in distress

Or damsels in white, and damsels in black

But not damsels in black and white

For black and white is monochrome

Which is only part of the spectrum

Like good and evil

Evil is everywhere

Also God is everywhere

God and evil are everywhere

But is God evil

Or just omnipresent

Like the stars

The sun is a star

Your son is your heir

He may be your star

But air, like wind and fire and earth

Are elements

As hydrogen and helium are elements

Of the periodic table

The dining table, the times table

The timetable

Bus timetable, train timetable

Train journey

To the tablelands,

Or to lands unknown

Take the train

Train hard and often

To be fit, but not befit

Or fit for a king

King size, king pin

Hair pin, lynch pin, lynch mob

Mob psychology pop psychology

Pop culture, pop songs

Pop in for a drink, a soda pop

Mom and pop

Look up to your parents

Look up to the sky

Look up the answer

For its just perspective

Where the floor to one is the ceiling to another
