it couldn’t be
what is perceived, because it couldn’t be perceived.
if it’s untrue, it
shouldn’t be said, if said, it remains untrue.
one knows what
perception another has, because that perception was given. any other
perception, over same phenomenon, is an incorrect perception.
one sees something
gray in this.
six people see an
incident, six people see different things.
grouping is
healthy, viable, comforting. as one in the group, what I say is true, is
exactly true. investigation is irrelevant.
not so!
one clumsy act,
one senseless move, one is under suspicion. he perceives the suspicion. he
needs to remove it. nonetheless, he ought to leave suspicion where it
dwells, letting time explore his position.
most need
evenness. it’s a phantasm. someone will be uneven, watching, contention turns
into aggression.
groups dislike
individuals. individuals contend with authority, acting with authority.
something is different.
many constructs,
we pick our philosophy, the pragmatist has no room for metaphysics—the
mathematician has no room for religion.
many will become a pleasure, some will remain a thorn, most will see in self, a different reflection.

the frustration of
the anchor—to grapple with its crane—as souls held captive by the tides; in
fresco art, in cavalier — “It churns,” or seeking what can’t be located; such
symmetry in frankness, such asymmetry in poker, filled with aggravation.
I don’t care to
look. this is an issue. I should care to look.
situated far and
low, minding the auditorium, coaxed to participate. it has less meaning. many
are depleted, rivaling, some image in a throwaway mirror. it shifts with tides,
it moves with stealth, it keeps with an agenda.
we say chameleon,
if it would capture, a piece of the experience.
I find I had no
right—no rights in unevenness, as giving another a part in me to carry.
many graves. a
long veranda. a person outwitting her mirror. this is dangerous. at minimum,
self should be aware.
a contradiction,
an issue, if self is aware, self would show awareness—often, self isn’t aware;
one points it out, self is defensive, “I’ll not see self, as others see self.”
quite powerful, often needed—however, if many say something is wrong, something
might need investigation, disregarding systematic menticide.
in saying thus, I see
a flaw, unpreparedness, similarity, it seems, much is expected of humans,
whereas, if present, one wouldn’t be able to function clearly.
