Left Or Right
Left or right,
confusion masquerading as choice.
Red or blue,
align with something ,
then call it you.
We internalize the external,
regurgitate the speel,
concur with others imagining,
become a spoke in their wheel.
Reality requires attention,
without judgement or resistance
That we must start from knowing nothing
is the only real insistence.
