Frederick

By Peter Scott


Bluntly
Rather strangely
Frederick Alters the conversations in his head
Asks a different question
Amongst constant answers

How would reality paint itself
Without inhibition?
Not a disease ravaging the land
Could our walls of hate fall
Crushing and creasing
Those feelings of inadequacy
Build back the fences of invisible mesh
Self-esteem and trust
Interdependent on my neighbors
Might pins prick my face
Proliferate around the world
In one transcendent Smile?
Content with myself
I could boost those people
That might tear me down
...Only
Maybe if
All could have free sex around the world
!Forget the old rules
When knowledge was ignorant
Science too bold
Everyone of us close
Merely a step away
Would life scar so badly
If we gave?
House and home
Fortuna and wealth
Possessions and pride
Everything ever had...
Could be kept
Reality required to share
Nothing would stand lost
Except your problems
Those blades of steel that cut
Into the heart of man
If all agreed
Presented their bodies
To everyone else
Waltzed past inhibition
Those who damn us while dead
Touched each other
Accepted who they are
Held and kissed strangers
Who we are yet to know we love
Might we end
Complete and start our lives in
One orgasm?
You tell me
For I do not know...
If your consciousness remains open
There is something else
The final key locked
In our society
Introspect
Ask the question why
You refuse empathy
Without a real sense
Of where you are
Travel nowhere farther
Than the ends of the globe
Overlook you do
Never notice your thoughts
Aren’t alone
Bred in a realm
With two realities
Like a fruiting amoebae
You aren’t the only one
Remember what I didn’t say
How I could have said it

Resting in the chair
A thousand have used before
Hope ran little in Frederick
They didn’t care
Never would
Never should
Never bothered
He peered around
All was as he had spoken
Life was as he wished
For perception is reality.
