In Extremis

Some day are really in extremis strange
In ways you never would have thought before;
Some times the world just likes to rearrange
All that you thought you knew, and sometimes more
(For if you didn't know it, would you know
If it were changed around you on the way?
I think I would - that's only hubris though,
And would be easy for proof to gainsay).
In certain cases, though, the day proves clear
And usual, and even quite routine:
It's days like those that cause me much more fear,
Concerned for what might lurk behind the scene.
What's normal is abnormal - what is odd
Is what I'm used to - give me that, by God!
