Woody Johnson

“The Non-istI am anti:I descend when others clamber up:Formally attired when others are not;I un-imbibe while others sipAt parties, and bars and on vacation trips.I'm abstract:Formless in a world of representations,Flat in a world of 3-D demonstrations,Yet occupy space/time in Einstien's manifestations,And invisible in a world of flamboyant excitations. I am black and white in a land of a million hues,Kaleidoscopic when the world's all greys and blues;Monotone and taupish while all around is crimson,But luminescent in the depths of prison.I cannot be while others do,And yet I will, when others fail to;And when they've done all they could do, I remain retired, sudued.”
