Stands to Unreason

Possibly the only reason
Anyone stands for anything
Reasonable’s something to do

With reason’s worth to prediction
And coordination, the best
And most dangerous magic tricks.

Otherwise, unreason’s preferred,
Even by those loudly pleading
With you to be reasonable.

Consistently reasonable
Behavior always vitiates
The strength of coordination

And mutes the oomph of prediction
With willingness to surrender
As soon as something’s disproven.

Reason is an acid, protein
Concoction that catalyzes
The breakdown of contradictions,

But you’re mostly contradiction.
You need to confine that acid
In its vat to aid digestion,

Not let it flow through your system.
A system flooded by reason
Is a skeleton by evening.
