Escaping reality is like Finding a spark & Igniting a piece of yourself Illuminating All the surrounding fog & trees & bike lanes To grasp a failure Is only a fraction Of the hydrogen bomb Created to give birth to all the mantis shrimp & orchids & deflated balloons "Our brains contain only a fraction of our being" she said "& we only use but a fraction of our brains" Fractions Decimals Numbers in the irrational thought are like The exclusion of colors from world war 1 The absence of life at the bottom of the ocean So We all assume presume That our memories serve us correct That what we see is In fact What we get When in the plane of our existence We accept lies as truth & truth as a harsh reality
