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
