pretense

you and i talk

i talk to you - you talk to me

i talk to my perception of you - you talk to your perception of me

i talk to who i think you are - i talk to who i think you're not - you talk to who you think i am - you talk to who you think im not

i fart - you make a face

i look at you - you wonder why i'm looking at you

you ask me a question - i continue to stare

i wonder about perception

i wonder about pretense

i wonder about selfish motives

i look again and you aren't there

i bring you back immediately

imaginary friends cant come and go as they please

what if

what if you walked into a shop one day and met your aunt who you thought died 8 years ago.

What if you woke up one day to be told you were the beneficiary of a trust fund that was set up 20 years ago and you are now 32crores richer than you were before you woke up

What if you went abroad to see the world and someone offered you a job you never thought would come your way - giving you a new life, new friends, and new family in time

Would you accept it...take it...turn the other way...?

What if you were slapped in the middle of a crowded room...just before you were going to say 'i love you'

What if you died and woke up 2 mins later

What if you walked non stop for 3 years

What if you realized you were a bad human being

What if you were a convict living in prison for the last 27 years with only a broom and mop for close companions and gun shots, men shagging and a squirrel sqealing - the only sounds you heard at night...every night

What if you knew you were alive and well today but in and 5 days from now you'd be a bar of soap

What if you were a fly on the wall

What if you met the girl of your dreams.....and met her lesbian lover right after

What if you were a cannibal

What if god was your pet dog

What if your were a cockroach...and it was 3 million years from now

What if you were a cockroach and 'fat boy' was just about to drop from the heavens

What if there was no black music

What if earth was the land of lilliput

What if you knew you were going to die tomorrow

What if everybody hurts....

What if you're stuck in a moment you can't get out of

What if you had a drug overdose and you're stuck in a moment you can't get out of

What if you shot yourself and you're stuck in a moment you can't get out of

What if you were raped and you're stuck in a moment you can't get out of

What if the world was your oyster...would you eat it with champagne

What if love was a four letter word

What if time stood still and you could dance in the middle of the water droplets in the niagra falls

What if Hitler was black

What if you were told to die for your country...or for your friend's unborn child...or for the life of a stranger you never met

What if 'Alice in Wonderland' was a true story

What if all the world was a stage..what part would you be playing in it

What if these were the last words you ever read
