living in this necessary evil
there is this reality
that we don’t know about
other than through dreams
and from there
we are left in the dark
inside the matrix
is another form of reality
one we rarely get a glimpse of
maybe by way of a dream
inside of a nightmare
it’s like that window
or that mirror
replicating itself ad infinitum
possessing you without question
taking to all the places
you’ve known throughout
the course of human history
in the meantime
(and for some unknown reason)
this present day reality
remains a necessary evil
november two thousand twenty-one
