Diameter of a lie
Common knowledge,
Much like a quarter inserts into its slot and destinies hinge on the outcomes of strangers.
Depositing silver dimensions of a particular diameter.
Quarters - upon the hands holding onto glory,
As the quarter drops to hit that jackpot.
And that psychic ability to tell how much
fortune will be bestowed.
All the same way that coin falls,
so as it reaches to the bottomless pit of hopes and dreams,
into the pool of metal.
When cha-ching!!
Your whole life consists a curious journey,
trips to that casino and your imagination stopped determining fate.
As though zombified pretending to be sleep walkers.

I have no other certainty, not even of the outer universe... I don't see the outer universe, I don't hear the outer universe, I don't touch the outer universe.
I see my visual impressions; I hear my auditory impressions; I touch my tactile impressions.
It's not with the eyes but with the soul that I see; it's not with the ears but with the soul that I hear; it's not with the skin but with the soul that I touch. And if someone should ask me what the soul is, I'll answer that it's me.

Silly me. I forgot to. I meant to make a point, on my birthday, of my favorite quote by Pessoa. It reveals such a powerful substance when you internalize it as it is suppose to be founded in the minds eye.
Not knowing about oneself is living.
Knowing about oneself badly is thinking.
I don't believe in anything but the existence of my sensations...
- Alvaro de Campos
