Controlled Fallacy

Our mind is capable of passing beyond the dividing line we have drawn for it. Beyond the pairs of opposites, of which the world consists - other, new insights begin." --Herman Hesse, on Thought " Controlled Fallacy I could be an enchanted dragonfly, the one, in a child's storybook that lets fairies, full of magic ride on its back. I could turn into the wicked dragon that lurks in all the kingdoms and fiefdoms or the brave knight that rescues the poor distressed damsel; the one who lives happily ever after, thereafter or, I could be her private aspirations. Her flight from passion before the rot sets in. I could be her secret hideaway, where she touches solitude with reverent fingers. I could enter reality at this point so focused that the dragonfly would tumble into a shriveled heap, or become a pauper, sitting on a cold and wind blown, treeless street. I could be a modern day Cinderella with a pumpkin Rolls Royce and stained glass slippers or,the best friend of an English Lord, or the maid who every single morning brings him his breakfast of kippers. But I don't want to be an enchanted dragonfly. I want to drive to some remote reality in a real Rolls Royce I want - I want controlled fallacy. I want caviar- not kippers I want a flowing negligee and maribou-feathered high heel slides. I want to be that enchanted princess who touches solitude with reverent fingers. I want to be the smiling sole, possessor of a single, stained glass slipper Suzanne Delaney Fantasy Contest - Giorgio V
