Virtual Muse #2: Perception Accepted

 

 

 

 

 


perception- eats us alive
mirror- where the person you are stuck with lives
abstract- tomorrow’s realities
communication- a high art when it involves the heart
insight- walk around like that and you’ll walk into a wall
sensory- two purposes- survival and reproduction!
reality- that ‘external force’ Newton warned us about
ambiguity- a very useful tool in politics and love!
poverty- can occur in the body, the heart, and the mind
persona- is fluid

 


Me? Who is me? I must perceive
and in order to perceive
let me close my eyes...

 

Ah, there I am, interacting with others
and... Ah ha! Now I see who I am!
I am the composite aggregate accumulation
of cognizant observations
postulated from contemporaneous
circumstantial connections
in lucid and logical arrays of inseparable,
comprehensive unions of rational systematic
enveloped concordances clinging to deliberation
and rumination in the frosty labyrinth
of compelling asymmetry.
In other words, me is simply
my grasp of reality!

    Ah! Except, I think I might get fined on the site if I used that nickname... because it would just seem that I was doing it for the extra points. Anyhow, yes, see and like the change.

    (I think that's the longest nickname you'll ever get! )

    Thanks, my composite aggregate accumulation of cognizant observations postulated from contemporaneous circumstantial connections in lucid and logical arrays of inseparable, comprehensive unions of rational systematic enveloped concordances clinging to deliberation and rumination in the frosty labyrinth of compelling asymmetry, for your comment made me go back and tinker with it!

    I really love the different perspectives you put onto the word bank, they're really interesting. LOL, love your perceiption of self. That's quite a list of not-too-simple words you ran on there, very you. The "in other words" part is very fitting and really gives a different idea of perception as well, whether intentional or unintentional. You've done a great job on this!
