Juxtaposition…


I love the word, it has nine phenomes! Phenomenal me thinks… not I’m not stoned. Yet. Seriously, say the word slowwwly… ja k s ta po zi sh a n. See!!!

I haven’t written for a while, thought it was writer’s block, truth be told it is the Florentino syndrome. 
Have to revert to the natural order of things since apparently everything comes, even the words.

Ok sounds good the word, what the exact meaning and how does one use it in common parlance?
Quote: Juxtaposition is placing two elements or words side by side and letting the reader or viewer compare them. This act compares and contrasts the two elements and can show irony, humor or sadness. Unquote.

Pretty much like oxymoron and paradox. Cold and heat, false and true, perfection and flaw. In a sentence: I grip you gently with angel’s claws. Being cruel to be kind.

Remember that chilling scene in the Godfather when Michael Corleone takes vows as his nephew’s Godfather in the church and the spate of murders being executed at the same time. Birth and death. Juxtaposition.

Pretty much the prevalent disposition. Nascent and ancient, weary and rejuvenated, thoroughly loving hating it. How I thrive in simple complication and contriving coldly sweltering tableau's. 
Must be my name, apparently means the bee’s expulsion. Sigh! Which explains why I need a buzz. No no, not the dutch toys. In the cerebellum and myocardium. Latter over the former.


Most likely that it’s just the position! No no, not switching hammocks. Much of the tragicomic scenes of this drama called life are created by the idiot self. Scenarios fabricated to entertain the dullard brain. What’s life without angst. What’s art without a muse. 

What’s a position if it ain’t juxtaposed!
