What pundits ponder not withstanding
as finely focused as they are
Poets percieve to be expanding
their hands in cosmic cookie jar

are poised to pluck another morsel
from pantry of the possible
Those contents some would see but scantly
we tend to view as over-full

It is a matter of perspective
I here submit as proof of fact
If "X" does "Y" , "C" is reflective
and always in same way reacts

But what if "X" were to decide
he's tired of the status quo
and "y" , when asked , poets replied
to "b" is more important so ?

Then "c" just might decide that he
wouldn't "b" so darn predictable
and multiply his choices 'till
the cookie jar is over full !

As dreamers we would circumvent
known laws which are irrelevent
for with each piece we re-invent
ourselves at least to this extent

Dismissing words of talking heads
preferring to use ours instead

I looked upon X Y & Z
In search of truth that I might see
Yet what I found upon that plane
Was but one scene made all to sane

Changing the view, tangents I sought
Angles all new, compass I bought
Yet details changed no single bit
Their facets all a perfect fit

So now I hold this hammer high
To strike down hard, let Chaos fly
To shatter truth constructed with
The status quo and its myth
