I wonder about things
Why call it manganese?
Does it make any sense?
Or am I going sane?
Does cheese and butter
Make milk outdated?
Like bubbling mold
In an Amazon storm
Deep, much too deep
For a shallow person like me
Where did the bunny go?
A velvet hat and magic wand
Woolen gloves
Big flakes, a snowstorm
On your shoulders; Dandruff
And greasy pores
Who comes up with this stuff?
Do I honestly like plaid?
Why is my brain squirting?
Words spit out of pen.
Come together
Broken plate
Super glued for Mother’s sake
Making nonsense sound crazy
But where are the padded walls?
Egyptian cotton pillowcases
Pleather, plastic, fake
How did it come to be shoelace?
Poof!
An idea gave birth
Suddenly people just say
Things accepted for centuries
Tongue, that’s odd spelling
Like Polka dot
Why neon?
A gush of ink
Staining the page
Am I normal?
To ponder about marshmallows
And forest fires
During a nonexistent football game
I don’t believe in Santa Claus or coffee
But Angels and handicapped parking are real
What about me?
Orange soda and restraining orders
Pepper spray and stray cats
Eighties punk
Billboard Hits
Rocky road and Roxanne
Doesn’t it seem peculiar?
What perplexes you?
Plastered smiles, False advertisements
An aspiring gold digger
Marrying a bank account
Am I opposite average?
Or do I conform to uniqueness?
Mellow but loud
Can’t figure it out, can you?
Stare at the ceiling
And think about thoughts
Do you think what I think?
Or do I think too softly?
I am not addicted to reading, I can quit as soon as I finish one more chapter.

First off, this was very entertaining and fun to read. Mostly because it was very realistic and easy to relate to. It seems like a stream of consciousness, which can be difficult to write, so it makes me appreciate it further.

The only real negative I can spot is the lack of formatting. Poems tend to be easier to read and understand when they are broken up into verses. I can see where verses could be formed and where there could be breaks in the lines. I am guessing you made it one solid chunk for a reason. I do not think this is a major problem with this poem, do to it's natural pace and quirkiness.

Overall, I liked it. :D

first of all the poem is not properly formatted and second the poem was too long at first i was enjoying it I had to force myself to finishing the poem. just a little effort and you will have a perfect poem
when the answer to everything is lost then turn to the question in everything, cause everything is the only place you probably have not search

I actually really liked it. It was so cool, especially because that's kind of how my own train of thought typically works...but I think it was really fun and I liked reading it a lot. Finally a poem that doesn't make me depressed! The fact that it didn't really have any formatting actually worked to its favor, in my opinion. No complaints from me. :D
