He broke the lines of predictable behavior
Social situations turned on their head
Normal niceties forgotten
Hours lost to thought
Insights gained
Through introspection and pain
Reverse engineering society
Toying while destroying
Old norms and taboos
To build new ones
And destroy them to
Reading and learning
Thinking and feeling
Perceiving
The tangible
Perceiving
The abstract
Perceiving that his perceptions
Were limited
Not tools of the divine
But faulty flesh devices
Thinking and acting
Reacting and justifying
A chemical being
Of energy
Put it in poetry
Then cycled back again
Where
He broke the lines of predictable behavior
Social situations turned on their head
Normal niceties forgotten
Hours lost to thought
Insights gained
Through introspection and pain
