SELF

SELF

pity this
not happening right now
on television

otherwise would be red-pill real
would be quintessential

and with that fresh
easily earned wisdom
you would be able
to see through
all these
veils of illusion
all seven of them
as I go fully minimalist
I am draping and discarding

would be
able to call all this
out for the fraud
it is
cannot escape being

able to
pinpoint the sleight
of hand
calculate all the angles
(refraction reflection)
framing this
multi-.
dimensional charade
rich
in smoke and
mirrors

as we
(needle eye)
confer, argue, philosophize,

go fully dialectical
getting
with the program, programme,

through
the fourth wall
