I too once
suffered upon others
agonies of unwitting
reality bubble popping.
Dancing from mind
to mind poking
at the shiny
gas filled cavities
of unexamined assumption.
A tawdry skill
mastery of which
was not begun
until mosquito minded
sage Socrates burst
several of mine.
One has come
to a place
where mind can
barely build shells
of content comfort
to explore vanity.
Now my bubbles
have trouble cohering
before or after
the evanescent moments
they are thought.
The project of daily created aphorisms continues!
