I swear it’s true, but you’ll laugh. I saw her sawed right in half. I walked out there and then. Not sure if she’s whole again. I guess our bias can sometimes drive us. Did I mention she’s my ex-wife? Roosters greet the day at dawn. Proud they can turn the sun on. The same way thunderstruck mice in disbelief will look twice, when they first see a bat will get totally rattled, seeing a mouse angel with wings. Imprinted by each scene that we’ve seen. Our brains a Rorschach scanning machine. I may see a “B”. You may see a three, weirdly. Objective as we try to be, we see what we want to see. So what do I see when I look at you? My best friend who’s loved me true. Is that some trick of the mind? If that’s so, that suits me fine. Now if I’m crazy, my mind all hazy, the delusion’s working for me. Painting our world with our hopes. Comforting lies for us dopes. Blinders from reality. Watch what you believe that you see. Minds and desires shade the truth. Beware cherry picking your proof. Snub facts when we disagree. We can all see what we want to see.
