Parlor Tricks of Introspection Your reflection fractures to tetrahedrons scored by an idiot conducting the dragon kitten to gather bags of chihuahuas with shaking eyes each drooling tongue pressed against the glass bottom boat made yellow submarine. Your features grow umber mossy dendrites: a nose nestled between pungent bifurcations skyshot into florescences of caricatures, lips orbisculating at each dogmatic chimera conjured from naked purloins unclothed, the temples of Artemisian rememorations and the land of lost focus and clouded aquamarine. Your corpus swells round the asymptotic eyes voluptuous spirals folding over the yesternavel scars stretched by chronic tectonics unleashing untethered ejecta of an evolution outward, the porcelain bondage of handpainting ultramarine. --- Explanation: The recursion of introspection, that feedback loop of perception interpreting what it means to perceive, reveals the splines that underpin organic forms of macroscopic phenomena made up of geometric forms that swell beyond their definition with the interminglings of the active world. The features we grasp in one moment incessantly metamorph into later stage concretions that fill in the unexplored cracks with infinites rounded down to an antialias. The pigments we use to paint our chosen understanding are ground from the gropings of yesterday's potsherds forever mistaking the approximation for the whole. To summarize, our eyes see in non-existent colors as we disregard the reality of how much signal is lost to noise, so we play games we call self consciousness to close the gaps of our economizing, then put the pen down and take a sip of coffee.
