Absurdity

Absurdity Behind the closed portal and the open door, stands the lonely legless man with his paramour. He is singing silently in the peace of night violently a nocturnal sunrise of miserly giving called nameless absurdity. With the stroke of midnight and the bells of high noon, is the sunless side of a bright full moon it's florescence darkens paths blocked by people smartly stupidly cunningly planned on lush arid land in absurdity. In the quiet of the day is a cacophony the most pleasant of uncoordinated harmonies an insane, intense lullaby that deafens silently softly a song of shame haughtily carries the same variation of noise depravation for absurdity.

Janis, congrats to you on your win on mile 5 of my 2019 Poetry Marathon contest! This is awesome! It took me a few reads before I understood the brilliant contrasts the first time I read it. (How's that one? That was my vain, unselfish attempt to write absurdity. Lol... What do you think? Keep my day job?) ~Mark

The contradictions in your poem -- peace violently, open closed, singing silently -- are well defined. Very interesting, Janis. Congratulations on your win!
