What is it about normality
Which gets people so hung up on it?
Its almost
As if somewhere
Atop a far off, spiritually significant mountain
Lies a great stone tablet
In which the parameters of normality
Are clearly defined
People are so terrified
Literally or metaphorically
Of being on their own
Eccentricity is the one
Trait we share
Because everything is abnormal somewhere

My vision of this poem is that humanity is confused of what is normal and many believe in the stories told of Jesus and Moses and the tablets of the Ten Commandments on the mountain. This is a question of what is normal between the beliefs of believers and non believers.
Am I close? |

my thought about this poem is that normality is but an illusion up close. Sure, from thirty thousand feed up, it seems quite clear, but we, all the different people, don/'/t live up there.
So there/'/s no normal, instead we use stats, you know, stats regarding certain actions, or outcomes. You know, the normal distribution curve.
Well, we don/'/t think that way however as individuals do we, nor should we.
"Eccentricity is the one Trait we share"
So very true! Great poem!
Peace!
