Concrete Self
by A. Keith Barton → (All Poetry by A. Keith Barton)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Sequential
Not inconsequential
Our world revels in reality
Sensory input in totality
Ordered, linear, and logical
We subscribe to methodological

Discrete units of time
Poetry that always rhymes
Predictable to a fault
Information follows thought
We cannot accept what we cannot see
Infuse words with a photographic memory

Structured and precise
We sometimes act not so nice
To abstracts who praise the subconscious
And look at us as pompous
Never mind the metaphysical
For we prefer the literal

Inflexible and rigid
Unforgiving and frigid
Lack sympathy and compassion
For those unclear about action
Addicted to order and routine
Life is what it seems
