You are a child of resistence
A pathological existence, they said.
Fitfull sleep comes in spurts
Refreshing naps come at will.
Wet grass tasting your feet
Like a blind kitten.
Chasing moonbeams seen through trees
As a terrified mirage;
Always there when you're not
Never there when you are.

Or is it just a game?
Playing with your mind
In sifting glee...

And the owl hoots an answer
You can't understand.
The answer to your question
That makes you damn
Ever being human.

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
--Chang Tzu
