When we enter this reality
Through the uncalled memory
Of our birth,
Crying with nonsense
To newly unveil senses.
The doctor readying his slap
To insure
You’re aware of the world.
The initial daybreak
Grasps with instinct
From the stem
Of our brain,
But we develop
Further in life learning
To walk, talk,
And even further
To tuck in that dress shirt,
All in all learning
The basic facets of living;
Only to further learn
That we cannot know everything
Undefined definite definition
A plotting knot of resolved fiction,
Dualities, influences, susceptibilities,
Insecurities, indecencies, and tendencies
In us all for us to see
And choose not to be.
The card game
Of social exposition
And inquisition
Learning to understand our face
And the people that we trace,
Forming, deforming, uniform
Difficulties
We stumble,
To return standing;
Challenges in holding hands
Returning affections, and mental afflictions
Gaining understanding
That we are being human beings
Refractive in and Reflective at seeing
Birth parallels death
No choice, versed vice
Falling and stumbling sadly
Last moments
Of our lives, begin
Talking gibberish,
Eating mush,
Having no memory
What happened yesterday?
While you lay in your crib
Asleep to a reality
