Watch Out For the Edges

got pigeon holed early in an obstacle race called a fifties town culture and army base [...nuns...ex colonels and sergeants for teachers...] died many deaths but weathered the scars mind can hold now what's as far as the stars [...beyond the books...the preachers...] arrived at a philosophy of fractal phenomenology truth and what's true being more than mythology [...got one foot in the abstract...the other's in this grave...] this chain we call existence has a few restrictions reality's construct base is inherent contradiction [...walkin...need a cane now...watchin...the world slowin again...] stan sand

Head and eyes in the cosmos, feet firmly planted here on Earth, or something akin to that... I like the way you told the story of your (mind's) life here, Stan. Amazing that you did so in just 12 lines, four of them parenthetical. Awesome, dude! Best wishes, Gershon
