Rob Schackne #230 - Non-theory (1)

Non-theory (1)


Did that really happen to you
no of course not
yes of course it did
another department of reality
it's Santa Claus and Snow White
did that really happen to you
I thought so
and (alright) it's Buddha and Jesus
if you've been paying attention
you'll see the same souls returning

do you ask yourself why
I thought so
you picked up the book
you ought to know
the difference
did that really happen to you

  1. Did that r-e-a-l-l-y happen to you... are you sure (not)? Amazing how readers can assume because you've written something down it's "truthful', not fictional - even when it is presented as poetry. Appreciate your non-theory take on it all Rob :)

    1. Yes. Usually followed by: "Published?"
      Then: "What do you write about in your poems?"
      Like I write for, but I am not read by.
      Never mind.
      A few days a month it's hilarious.

      :)
