Within a gap of reason, one can determine its significance

Its applicability in an organized functional relationship

Abilities that are judged as a standard of behavior and emotions

A standard deviation from the point of no return

Obsessively, over time, the point retracts to the center

In order to abbreviate and shorten the space needed to catch up

This reminds me of school, but in a good way. It makes me think of some of the (few) things I learned, that actually interested me...i.e: some parts of science and psych that I found intriguing, and cause and effect, and all that good stuff. Not sure if that makes sense in comparision to your write, or even how it'll come across when you read this, but it's meant as a compliment. Your poetry often leads to profound thinking, as much as it is often based on the same, as well...Nicely done.

-Mediocrity killed the cat-

I love that. If it didn't kill him entirely... at a minimum it blinded him, numbed him, defeaned him. Poor cat... somewhere under all that fur, he's probably meowing his butt off --- or worse (to your point, I think), not.

I agree with Scorpie here... thought provoking, this is.
