tHe iLlUsIoNs oF rEaLiTy aNd tRuTh

by Jeff Mason — Read all 207 poems by Jeff Mason

Just wanted to do something d:i-f^f+e-r=e*n/t

After all, aren’t reality and truth simply a matter of perception?

One man's illusion is another man's reaility.
One woman's fiction is another woman's truth.

Picasso, Dali, Cummings, Pink Floyd & Poe -- What if they all had collaborated on a work? Would then a picture or song paint greater than a thousand splendid words? Would then a song or a poem paint an incredibly complex, abstract and insightful array of mental thoughtscapes?

First there is no poet, then a poem, and then no writer, and then there is... I am a salamander eating a fly on a rock in the sunshine dreaming I am a donut-eating human who is a wingnut spinning verse...Welcome to the OddHouse, Jeff! Excellent poetic musing!

I agree with Carmen on this, Jeff.

Fictions are invented by people. Realities invent people. There's a big difference here.

There are certainly enough people in this world who would invent fictions to cause others pains. You'll have to be one of the recepients to know this pain - it's very painful and is silently endured. That's all I can say.

Very different, Jeff. I'd say... it is... different. And as they say, life is stranger than fiction. In fiction, we invent it and make it sound like truth. In real life it happens and then, it's really weird!
