a dose of 'reality'?

link

ahhhh reality. what is it? is it something fixed and solid? is it something everyone can agree upon? or are there an infinite number of 'realities'?

you can't handle reality.

here is a pome.

at the rainy tennis courts
orange soda, olives, almonds, chocolate chips.
pine needles wind strewn are broom swept.
feed the chipmunk
i could take a nap
fire dept tinny announcements echoing.

i wrote that one.
someone else wrote this next one to me:

"loose threads emanate from all sides of an unfinished, tightly woven tapestry as in us clinging to life. you're not in control. none of us are except geo bush the shrub and dickhead cheney the evil puppetmaster. blame them for everything."

and this from the dalai lama:

if you cannot help someone at least do not hurt them.
my religion is kindness.

i wonder what his IQ is?
