It's All About the Vantage Point
we are told we are equal
and perhaps that is true
but perspective plays a part
in all the things we do
there is no absolute truth
within this life for me
it is all about the vantage point
from which i peer out
it is about what I see
when the light is just right
when I sit long enough
I am able to see things
. . . .differently
and as I move from rhyme to free
you will see a dissembling of the perspective
from which I write
look again at the words I choose
and as meter
pings
and jostles its way
it is as if the cabbages on my head
take root in the tree
. . . . . . .

In this silly verse, I move from organized meter in the first stanza to a more chaotic sense of form and idea. Just playing with perspective.
