Extraordinary

[Kent Allard]

Extraordinary

I look above into dense grey skies
Swirling masses strange and dreadful
They'll strangle you in dreams that come true
Every day as stormy skies become dull
Asperatus captures your soul
Extraordinary

Someone tells me his story
He was once just one man
Now he's fifteen but only five are him
Tells himself what to do
Invaders from some insidious quantum dimension
Extraordinary

Wonder boys hurtle down time's lonely tunnel
Fate's decreed they'll wear masks
Things have changed for Downey and Maguire
New recruits for the superhuman crew
Attired in spidery suits of iron
Extraordinary

I like :

"He was once just one man
Now he's fifteen"

I like the association with the past and the present.

Why fiteen ?


"but only five are him"

I don't understand that.

"New recruits for the superhuman crew
Attired in spidery suits of iron"

Spidermand and Iron Man.

Verse two was inspired by a person I know well, and describes his condition. It may be medical, it may be something else. I don't know

Auditory hallucinations like these are a precursor of Schizophrenia. In the absence of psychosis it could be multiple personality disorder.

Each of the verses of the poem describes an unrelated series of real events, each very extraordinary in my opinion.

The flow seemed to not so much for me but first thought was multiple personality disorder.
But depending on age is very hard to lable because a very odd thing happens in the growing of a young persons mind.
Many children do not know that things hearing are own brain repeating days events or things heard and no blip on earlier in days radar. Does this making sense? Often this is very scaring at night time when trying to fall asleep and brain is still wired on GO.
A restless mind needs much care! And redirection hahahahah

Infatuation with computer games is very dangerous too
