Peek-A-Boo
Your mind is not hiding somewhere
between your ears.
Your mind isn’t even yours.
We’re all sharing it.
But like most things that can be shared,
some want it all for themselves.

Tug of War
Be real.
Be fake, be sweet as boring cake.
Be real.
How does real feel?
Real feels right,
but right feels wrong.
Real feels like
punching you in the face
for the hurtful things you say.
Real feels horny.
Gotcha! feels real,
and anything said upon stepping in dog shit.
Fake feels wrong,
but wrong feels right.
Fake feels like
putting up with mistreatment

Patty-Cake
you are real but this world is made up this world is real but you are made up
you are made up of opposing forces united
like a symphony orchestra being orchestrated by the band leader except the band leader doesn’t really exist only the band is real
