Ontological Aside
Real self
Is an unknown cloud
The heart, a clenched muscle,
Squeezes blood to the brain opposite
Desire, angst, the will to exist
Actually live somewhat to the right
As you're facing the mirror
From the mirror side you can't see
Beyond whether you're there or not.
How the blood gets to the cloud
Is a mystery:
Perhaps as a vapor or a mist,
Perhaps as a shadow, a ghost, or a dream.
