The truth of the matter is
anything is possible
had you not seen it all from birth
and bled it of its strangeness
it would appear for what it is
a fetishized novelty
a fevered dream
having neither an*logue
nor precedent
the order in the air you see
is only what you put there
(it's not constrained by any latitude )
like a string in a maze
so you don't lose your way
and although I want it to
reason can't always be
that eagle clutching a paralytic snake

Construction
Rational objectivity and reason are important cantilevers in society. Cultural constructs are built over centuries, influenced by things as disparate as religion, ritual, fear, ideas of providence, etc. In an illogical world, these things give people some type of comforted footing. Although I invariably side with reason, the placating web of convention does not provide answers as an end-all, and at many times is contrary to rationality; thus it should be examined with the same critical eye
