Like Reality: Objective vs. Subjective View

The surreal abstract figure

Lying naked on the floor

Her toes tucked under the rug

Turns to see who came in.

You look upon her parts but you can’t see her as she is,

While you appreciate her angles and curves,

Like reality,

Your views of her are multiple, concurrent, distracted by

varied perspectives all at once.

Her eye looks at you.

You must have interrupted.

She was reading the book on the table.

Like reality,

She resists your expectation

To resolve her incongruities.

Like reality

She looks at you still

Until you realize it’s time to go.

She waits for you to leave

So she can get back to her book.
