POSITIVE FALSE NEGATIVE (08/09/2022) back To be so cold that you can't feel it, And it's actually quite common To hallucinate the sound of nothingness. Your four limbs and five appendages at the end of each Are tell-tale signs of a latent, covert phenomenon Not commonly discussed in human physiology, One that I, personally, have certainty of, And I can understand how hard it must be To accept that you're actually some other Elusive type of six-legged twelve-eyed flying creature That found comfort in entertaining the fantasy of being human. You're some sort of nocturnal creature that is only awake during daylight, With a rare form of night-vision that only functions under bright lights, And soft, fine hairs made of coarse, hard bristles, Asymptomatic and a false negative that reads as a false positive. Because, understand, the Mobius strip mechanics of your Escher-painting illusion DNA Have intricately constructed your mind in such a way that You may have strange visions of not seeing anything out of the ordinary. You are an exotic type of fish that doesn't swim, hence your covert fins, You are a rare kind of darkness that illuminates the room, covert darkness, You are an unusual legless four-legged snake, A species, which, of course, as we know, Is actually quite common, since you are one. Yes! Absolutely, you're right, I understand now that the government is after me, there's something in the water, I'm being followed and the aliens have put something in my brain, And now I'm hearing voices that, I'm sure, I was hearing before, but denied, Until you so kindly offered to slip psychoactive agents in my drink That helped me see the spiders I couldn't see before, because I was in denial! Who knew my resistance to your insistence Was a sign you were right all along, and even a symptom? I can't tell which way is up, I think my left is now my right, When the sun rises tonight during this scorching-hot winter, I'll let you know If I begin hearing nothing again. Thanks for worming into my head and setting me straight! I bet you feel smart now, don't you? Now get out.  |
