Analysis of Fractured Realities
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
'And...
Okay.
Today,
Realities are fractured.
So...
Go on.
What about them?'
These are not your natural, normal...
Everydayish come what may.
Look the other way hypocrisies.
Those to do are expected.
No.
The realities today are made to delude.
Then fictioned to deny truth exists.
And after that,
Defended by pretentions and impressions.
Made to seek acceptance.
Sold to market at the expense to people,
Protesting against the cost it pays...
To stay and keep their lives messed up.
'And...
The problem with that,
Is what?
I don't understand.
Where is your beef?'
My routine is mostly organic!
'Yeah.
That's where all this fractured stuff started.
And there is nothing natural about it either!'
I...
I don't understand where you're coming from.
'And you want me to explain,
Who's messed up and why?
You've done a good job of that already!'
