Notes About The Poem

Irreconcilable Paradoxes

Strange, funny even; 
             someone spending two hours 
         in the gym at noon, sweating it out 

          then defeats the purpose at night
            by wolfing down 3 large slices
                of cheese pizza for dinner!

        Yet I hold my laughter and criticism 
        because I'm sure that at some point 
              I've been unknowingly guilty 
                  of such self-sabotage!

           I'm also sure it has caused friction 
            in relationships, even break-ups!

          Head-scratching; a dyed-in-the-wool 
             pro-lifer vehemently supporting
          the death penalty. I can almost hear 
                 a thought out there going...

          "What the? I don't get that one!"

        Yeah, it's a head-scratcher for me, too
    I bet it discombobulates even an oxymoron!
       It will make sense to me when 2+2 is 5!
