irony of the mind

irony in the mind,

may possibly lead head-on into 

the irony of the mind.

when two conclusions,

standing so close to each other in time,

turn and face each other,

as if topic bound,

yet having such diverse views held,

possibly in direct opposition

and yet, they paradoxically kiss.

they pander. 

they are amusing to watch,

as if observed is sarcasm's joy.

the mind is such a meeting place

for oddities to meet,

for assumptions to gather.

they speak their peace

and yet, reveling is taking place.

surely, as self audience,

there can be slights of under breath banter,

jewels of internal bitterness exchanged,

cynicism expressed from either side,

the inner embarrassment of irony facing off,

a self-audience uptake of amusing satire.

so heart warming

to watch the mind at work,

in its production mode

and yet not in sync altogether. 

conclusions bumping into other conclusion,

supposedly all working for the same cause,

an intimate assembly line 

but in joyous consternation.

side banter of the self-witness kind,

when paradox reaches for the standstill,

as if there is a standoff.  

dare we call the opposing thoughts,

a conviction becoming listless. 

one's orientation possibly stalled.

on the one hand is called out of retirement.

either or is, both making forthright demands.

distraction seems to be a necessary deploy.

but watching one's own mind at work

is the most intimate of comedy available,

the momentum of conclusion's constant effort.

now, pitted up against itself.

how fitting a discovery,

for the audience of being to become aware.

who of oneself 

gets served the eventual outcome,

as if intendedness was presented, hot and fresh.

conclusions do provide for the roll out.

but in this case,

the beauty of inner observation,

mindtalk made witness-able 

and a peculiar kind of glee can be had,

not just as irony in the mind,

but possibly the delightful exposure of 

the irony of the mind,

as one of the most beneficial joys of

conscious inner dialogue . . .
