Within Reason- Maurice Yvonne and Seren Roberts

Within reason lies a house full of ordinary a chest of bland memories. You end up with a pocketful of might have beens. Within reason is five square feet of grass and the proverbial white picket fence, nothing else. The word 'important' never makes it onto the page. Nothing"within reason" was ever found that didn't already have its place. When u abandon Reason you also abandon Impossibilities. the brother of reason The one needs the other two heads of the same dragon. One breathing fire and brimstone the other living without hope. They never live separately they are siamese twins. The ying and yang of yesteryears. They had a reason with a hint of possibility They had something, something maybe, at best something insignificant. But imagine what waits when you eliminate 'impossible.' In the darkest dark within the scream of 'don’t', inside the insanity of abandoning reason it is there you'll find that decaying flesh infested with worms it is there where the round wheel was found. You use a black shovel through the bone into the skull through the brain along the heart into the gut. There lies that fine line between insanity and genius but THERE is where you have to go. To get there you abandon reason. Abandon the dogma shoved down your throats all these years. Glide on the wild side. Show your body hair. Expose your fangs. Lights, camera, DANCE!
