Ballerinas of Deception: Chimaera of Deceit



Ballerinas of Deception: Chimaera of Deceit

(Series: Cannabis and Creative Cognition (sub-set: Tropicali- See Leafly.com))

Flittering, always random motion,
but you sense
a guiding,
a forecasting,
a constant
vibration
of unity.

It would be easy,
if seeking verity and variety
were simply buttons
on our I-have-just-opted-out
remotes.
But no.
Things just seep in,
flashing and whispering
in eleven dimensions:
not just straightforward.
Ever.

And the interaction,
the incessant interplay
of individual realities
clashing
against the familiar.
Familiar?  Is not familiar 
simply a dream
that doesn’t hurt?

And wait...
over there in the corner:
a shiny promise
of intellectual rewards,
and the present is abandoned
to the moan of the different,
or the thought of
the real.
