"A Spontaneous Burst Of Philosophy"
I think life may be like the internet or a video game.
Whatever is essentially us
is outside
looking in.
We begin to believe it's real,
establish relationships,
have adventures,
and think we're going places.
And when life gets turned off,
we'll look around and say to ourselves:
"Oh, yeah!
That was great, but this is reality!
This is home."

Time goes slowly on the clock,
and swiftly on the calendar.
Time is devious.
Look directly at a clock and it seems to stand still.
If you look away for a minute,
it shifts all the scenery,
and turns children old.
* * *
Sometimes I get deep.
