You Can’t Spell Weird Without “Me” (upended)

weird’s a word

of connotation,

an abstract term

that needs translation,

its complex construct

denotation,

the subject of

today’s narration.

it’s kinky, sure,

and kooky, too,

a frizzy, dizzy

loosened screw,

an awesome, haunting

world view,

eschewing ghost,

but full of “boo”.

mysterious–

its meaning’s mount,

fantastic, yes,

and flung far out,

so magical,

it’s hard to count!

To annotate, and

much less tout.

exceptional

as weird can be,

expressing

extra’

ordinary,

its rubric trick

–unusually—

uncarves stone

–and block—

–and tree.

So if you find

you fit description,

of this uncommon,

definition,

rejoice your voice

defies prediction,

and shout about

your rare

condition.
