Further and Farther Apart
by Chris Sorrenti
Further and farther apart
My friend
Or so the illusion goes
One day it’s here
The next it’s gone
To cry or cry not
Over spilled milk
With never an end
To the dilemma
Closer but farther apart
My friend
Or so the delusion goes
One day we’re up
The next it’s down
Quiet till we’re amplified
Around and around
The burning bush
The reality monkey goes
Chasing its tail
And where it will stop
Nobody knows
Except that reality
No longer seems real
Further and farther apart
My friend
Or so the preclusion goes
Though we like to think not
For no one seems to know
Anymore
The right way to move
As often forward
Feels like reverse
And the world
Always been upside down
