Why not cement
the foundation of our world
on something as flimsy
as the petal of an iris?

Why not live a life
where we perceive
the fallacies of ourselves
above the undeniable truth.

Why not compare
every aspect of our beings
to those who stand above us.

Why should we not
just look into each other's eyes,
and smile, happy with our world?
"he had cemented the foundation of his world upon something as light as a fairy's wing." From The Great Gatsby, by Scott Fitzgerald. I think that's how the quote went.
