Kinda Wonky

Listen to poem:
Wonky is nature's norm! Our obsession with straightness, conceived in arrogant innocent bliss, kowtows to a belief that adroit straightness following straight lines, somehow makes things stronger, smarter, more eye-pleasing and ever better in the long run. But entropy knows better than the 'know-alls', that everything transforms and decays to maximum disorder in time. For order and straightness requires the input of energy and effort that entropy lusts to pull down, bend, twist and topple. Being simply, wonky simple is a start! Light beams at dawn, are one of the rare straight things things seen in nature. These beams shine dead-eye straight into wonky clouds that blush red, embarrassed to be caught outside, in fluffy slippers with night clothes on, feeling kinda shonky, disheveled and wonky, as the humans, straight-faced, said they were.
