Less Thoughts on Reality

Reality is an angel with a busted halo and one wing in a sling. Reality holds the cards, but face-out, so it can't see its own hand. Reality has roughly the same effect whether you're a stiff breeze or a smooth rock sunning in a shallow tide pool. Reality cheats when it has to. Reality gets more interesting the less you pay attention to it. Reality has a way of sneaking up on the insane. Reality encompasses many, many different kinds of cheese - most of them equally valid.

Reality has a little bit to do with you and a little bit to do with me. Reality doesn't want to know what love is. Reality keeps intruding on your dreams. Reality wasn't the first thing you became aware of. Reality decides whether or not it exists. Reality would prefer to remain anonymous. Reality is not to be anthropomorphized.

Reality has never lost a fight.

Reality is a splendid and convincing liar. Reality beats the alternative. Reality has nowhere else to go. Reality gets the most out of itself. Reality has never been wrong about one thing.

Reality takes the rest of us for granted.

Reality doesn't have much to say for itself. Reality puts its best foot right where you might not want it. Reality seems a bit too much, sometimes.

Just sometimes.
