I have a hard time these days I really do
telling the difference between reality or if I was dreaming or hallucinating/////
imagining it all or was it real? I could swear it was real...
whether I’m really awake or lost in a space
a mumble-jumble time and place
one of those continuum things scholars talk about
or someone trying to sound like a metaphysical scholar
I could swear I saw something in person
but when I think about it
don’t really know if I saw it at all for real
it seemed so real at the time but now I’m not sure
was my mind playing tricks on me you naughty mind
maybe it’s visions of visions
wake up and don’t know what’s real
wake up and smell the coffee
some days feeling so detached from reality
which may not be such a bad thing actually
this world is so crazy
up is down left is right say the party line or else
an out of body experience
an illusion that leads to confusion
it’s all very strange - peculiar even
I feel perplexed-flummoxed
— related—
can our spirit not age
even as our body becomes older and then decrepit
what if there were no mirrors?
the spirit is always there even if seemingly diminished
it is only when the brain malfunctions
outer spirit seems to go awry
inner spirit stays strong
even if it doesn’t show
does the spirit go on despite death of the shell
I believe it so
