Real Mud
May 25, 2021
The mirror’s a mugshot of reality’s juvenile
We keep running to avoid compounding terms like you and I
Some pass through the tunnel of the cigarette,
Some join the sculptures in the TV screen
Discomfort when the mud caress our feet
We all wear different shoes; we’re scared to sink
Reality is bitter; a taste bud that carves hearts in real ice
Saturation of my real eye’s iris absorbed by the manga’s ink
In illustrations, we watch them diminish Yang to illude were still amongst the Ying
Lotuses only grow in mud is what we fail to realize
