:and my delusion speaks – “this is ridiculous.”
“it is?” I respond, “I prefer the ambiguity of the word you.”
I look up the word in the dictionary I am so fond of.
“the present time,” it dictates.

I think, and repeat lines of perhaps past prose,
“how am I to believe that reality isn’t real?”

Everything is fiction, and now, I believe them. It was ALL a delusion.
