Ideas Of Normality



And today the Tutor says - we’re going to 
discuss the idea of normality; but please, 
let’s instigate the guidelines before we go 
crazy: engaging in a debate about what’s 
causal to things seeming abnormal takes 
‘the heat’ off of whose ideas are ‘framed’ 
where dissension bends views you’d like 
to accept - and without comment - okay 

As th’ day progressed we climbed height 
of absurdity, descended to dark depth of 
inanity claiming we still knew differences 
mattering to a few who could express th’ 
bizarreness within admirable silence.  I’d
bet you’re confused with what’s deemed 

‘usual’ the Tutor confessed, any instance 
where there isn’t a majority lends room t’ 
move a little outside the seemly square - 
if it is then met with a silence that’s seen 
as unaccusing you’re free t’ be a wee bit 
different - if you know what I mean …
