reflection.

You think you know—

that’s just reaping what you sow.

Perception pulling on experience

and calling it truth.

Multi-faceted faces and

lenses, societal psychosis.

Moons and memories refract

in the river’s cataract.

A crooked finger pointing

at the reflection, pontificating.

Experience—that and this—

outside analysis.

Kick up your feet

with your neighbour,

meet and eat.

For you and me,

and us and them,

—all there is,

is to be.
