There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

5840 - Concrete poetry
Cloudia mentioned my Sunday post looked like concrete poetry. I had to look it up. I found many examples. Here are just a few. It's a new genre for me to explore.
I've never heard of or seen these before, they're interesting, but too many will have my eyes spinning.
ReplyDeleteI did know of them, and these are great examples.
ReplyDeleteRiver - I think I've seen them before but didn't know they had a special name.
ReplyDeleteSue - I didn't realize how spot-on my Sunday joke was.
I didn't know this style was called "concrete poetry" either! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI remember making pictures with the typewriter in high school Typing classes, but in that case we just used Xs.
ReplyDeleteI had a book of concrete poetry years ago. These a wonderfully inventive and fun to read. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDeb - That's your 'learn something new' for today. Take the rest of the day off.
ReplyDeleteKathy - You brought back a memory of the female figure we could print out on a teletype machine.
Shaw - What's old is new again.
Learned something new today - concrete poetry. Hmm..
ReplyDeleteFun examples Mike!
ReplyDeletePeg - Me too yesterday.
ReplyDeleteCloudia - I think so too.
I've seen things like that before. I just didn't know it was called concrete poetry.
ReplyDeleteConcrete poetry cements my belief that people will be carried away by almost anything.
ReplyDeleteKirk - Me neither.
ReplyDeleteBill - Careful. You don't want to cement too many beliefs and turn into a Republican.
