On the Wall

On the Wall

what’s on your mind

is that the solipsism_¹ of no choice

cogito ergo sum_²

are you sure you actually do

veritus³ in the mirror

what is the who

as the when and the thief

an unknown image

ignotum callim apscomsum⁴

cast aside to beyond the moon

to seek Castaly⁵

but find Frankenstein

living with leading strings attached

and plough sands

until we become like Cassiopeia

from living on a bean feast

magical is the thief

but the water has sand on the bottom

and the wine became vinegar

it’s never broken that never promise

mirror mirror

opposites attract

depending what side

is the face

a single coin 

of two directions

sitting on the edge

of head or tails

yes or no

in a silence

to hear a voice

and touch

a single vibration

mirrors don't speak

as selfies won't

looking glass moments

to seek

to hold

to lose

and the silence in the glass

that cannot be seen through

becomes it's own coin

depending is the face

opposite is the side

is the coin glass

sitting in two directions

that single edge

of yes or no

in a silence

of head or tails

a single coin

that is the face

DELUSION

pseudo ego

making the pseudo

gratification

a release of self

as object

and physical entity

a parody soulless

to be murdered

by reality

unconscious annihilation

in that science of nihilism

an ego built

of pure imagination

an illusion of illusion

an awareness of the nothing

that play of light

in the darkness

escaping the great teacher
