The Irony of Paradox

Why wouldn't a bottle of wine gets drunk, Why wouldn't the sharp edge of a sword cuts itself, Why wouldn't the mind unravels its own mystery, Why wouldn't a rope unties its own knot. After reaching its destination why does a road wanders off helter-skelter, Why do the waves of the sea retreat after reaching ashore, Why the mountain is not fearful of its height, Why the whirlpool does not get dizzy, Where is nowhere, How do you do nothing, How do you hear silence, How do you see darkness, How can you run out of patience, Why the broken clock wouldn’t stop time? Even as Life longs to live life forever Why wouldn’t Death stay dead forever? ~09/21/21 ~Contest: Fart-tastic Poetry ~Sponsor: Chantelle Anne Cooke
