argument for a limited collective solipsism

slips from our grip

this world

with which we can't be trusted

must be accounted in words

words being our principal way to be

how can we agree?

'leaving this world'

glib phrase for those fools

yet to notice the body

still and all, the slipping goes on

the tricky organs of perception

suggest there might be somewhere else

and we know there is

from the thousands we tell

we can guess at a number

greater than counting

but none of you will be going

in any tangible frame of time

that, my friends, is a good thing

the idea of elsewhere is

just to get you over the line

yes

it slips from your grip

and it slips from mine

this world

with which we can't be trusted

all of that smoke

and the noise that we make!

irresistible to think

how much better without us

the rest of the family will be

but for now and here

all make do

call the objective conditions

for practical purposes

there's only your body

there's feeling - sensation

there are the thoughts the body contains

each of us

equally interior

having

this world

and these words

for instance

every day like this

just as we have decided to share
