Negative Exposure (Contradicting Worlds)A Poem by Richard MuellerI'm getting decent at this prose poetry thing
Those eyes are daggers, delicate and intricate,
seeing right through me into that blank slate of a wall And so, you found foundation and dust in between, a world unseen by masses for it is hidden for none to see Wouldn't it be pure bewilderment, seeing what is hidden, for that would make it not so secret anymore While it may be simple plaster and once furnished wood, it is the imagination which, in turn, makes it so magical See, you see each dust particle as a fairy's small lights, the cross-stitched planks of wood are towering trees, ever-seeming to stretch so far, so magnificently The bit of plaster that was once smooth as the most beautiful stone is now a distant memory for me, and for you... Well... You see the world differently than I, you see I differently than I, and you see the wall, now torn apart to almost nothing, differently than I Plaster is not plaster, wood is not wood, and dust is anything but reality.
