Paradox

The things we do to keep from being hurt....

The imperviousness that I imply,

like a great stone wall surrounding me

leaves me undisturbed

in my self-imposed view of a world

I can no longer see.

Indulge me in my juxtaposition

of reality and illusion.

The two merge to create a paradox,

a new truth of equal absurdity

as the original had provided.

Cool.



(... i kind of wish you'd gone more into showing us the paradox, rather than just telling us. but that would be an entirely different poem.)

Powerful for how short it is.

Lovely. Very touching.
