Notes About The Poem

Hallucination Engine

(detail from "Methow Water", 2024, original encaustic)

Hallucination Engine

Whatever we touch
Morphs
Into a reflection 
Of the toucher 
And so it is
With all senses
Each reflecting
Our sense
Of self
No other but
An engine of creativity
In ever changing
Display

Bill Baker February 4, 2024 at 9:38 PM Good logic, James. I like it, my friend. Bill James Moore February 5, 2024 at 11:54 AM Hi Bill. It's a logic taken to the extreme though! It's based on a dream I had where I was painting with some kind of emulsive pigments which when touched would change the image depending on the feelings of the toucher. In the dream I called it my "hallucination engine"!
