The Pond

We’re living
in an illusion

                     like that
of a one-legged duck
swimming in a pond

                              o b s e r v i n g . .

           other one-legged ducks
                     in the same pond

the observation
being
                        the other ducks
are swimming in a straight line


                                             b u t  . .
                          that’s
                          only in their minds

             ' c a u s e

                          that’s
                          their reality

                                             a n d  . .
              as for
              the observer duck.. ?


                              h e ’ s   j u s t . .

                            a figment
                            of the pond
