I asked myself
when I hurt my thumb
as I touched the rose
Are there thorns in imagination?
Is a figment of fantasy a backlash?
Do you have to contend with the disillusionment
of the knowledge of its flaws?
Because there are only imperfections in form
out of the thought that seems perfect
They challenge you, like a dream gone sour
You can entertain illusions
but can you have a party with reality?
How did God feel when his imagination became material?
When half of it fell out with him?
Can you replace a part of you that is shorn?
The creator and the creation could never be one (won)
Because evil can crop out of nothing
like the dust in your home
We are all accommodating the dystopia
It’s only the liars who are predisposed to imposing the utopia
The righteous only keep wondering
if imagination is enough, for Paradise to be reclaimed
