perhaps a mirage is a dangling carrot
to keep us ever-seeking
perhaps our bodies are the freedom clothes
for our souls
and perhaps our sanity,
isn’t
sane at all
but a fata morgana
science has proven
the moon to be a
bell ---
hollow and resonant
for hours ---
a seismic anomaly
which sounds
when hit
perhaps science
is the fata morgana
and we are sane
after all
