Theory Poem by Chaz Walker

Life is simple because it is complex.
Take nature. Stare into her gumball
Mind. We’re surreal as pink minnows
Swimming in the cosmos of time.

This is just a basic theory, married
With xylophones and rhyme. Kudos sautéed
In reasoning for the crux of sight.
Do you agree? I digress. Life

Is beautiful, sidestep the copyrights.
Some believe truth holds the attaché
To knowledge, and with age, we all fib
Like graffiti pie.

So let us shimmy like lonely mimes,
Participants of the highest kind!
The beer is heaven cold in the icebox.
Maybe it’s time to turn back time.

Neighbors are friendly. Clichés are cheap.
With debate, the mortgage rates rise.
Like a good citizen, I do my deeds. So do you.
And for this, we smile like a brainstorm.

But never judge a book by its cover,
Unless the cover is torn.
