Notes About The Poem

Dead-End Street

                      we could
           pound our perspectives 
              as flat as a pancake
and force-feed each other with them. 
                we could debate 
          until two plus two is five
               and still arrive at
         an impregnable impasse;
               a dead-end street.
 you seem to be as stubborn as I am.
                      my mind -
                     and yours -
           clearly will not change. 
 so why don't we agree to disagree? 
 you see, I'm simply sick of shouting, 
                  tired of talking.

Congratulations on your entry placing, Edward. Finding a state of agreement, even if it's to disagree is a viable solution.

That sure is an impasse, leading nowhere--quite an original take on the theme.
