can someone please help me find irony in this poem please? thanks =]
Miscellaneous Raving
To other folks, it must seem like a blessing
that they're not like me. When I'm not obsessing
about some economic indicator
or other, I'm freaked out about the eight or
so reasons why I know the world's collapsing.
I spend too much time thinking and 'perhapsing'.
My worries intertwine in one big jumble:
perhaps the world's economy will crumble,
or asteroids will smack into the planet,
or huge chunks of Canary Island granite
will suddenly slide into the Atlantic.
Can you see why I feel a little frantic?
I don't know why I contemplate disaster.
Is it because it makes my heart beat faster
and lends excitement to my dull existence
to worry about dangers in the distance?
Do I enjoy inducing paroxysms
of terror and, so, dream of cataclysms?
