the fractures may be what is seen by someone whose perceptions are not f*cked.
someone told me my failure to see what everyone sees
is because of too intense a focus on what is there
i don't see what's not there, and this might drive me crazy
my therapists have been experts in seeing what is not there, and their delusions are not contagious (otherwise i could slip into the confines of their realities)
poetry is not metaphor, that in itself a metaphor(davidson)
and poetry is metaphor
aware that it's metaphor
but then the metaphors pile up in ordinary speech too, and a fractured experience
is like bone or glass
or an unforeseen interaction thereof
