Written August 3 2026 for Unseeking Seeker's contest The Illusion of Solidarity
Line of inquiry: The dream seems real since we don a form, borrowed from elements of that domain, but if we simply chose not to conform, we wake up when desires to rest are lain. Unseeking Seeker Caught in your white web of lies like black flies Each dream a bubble bursting destroying lives He said “I do” to more than one blushing bride In more than one state or country claiming wives Was watching TV when the glass ceiling broke Illusion of solidity was a phantom a green ghost Pictures of the women the children they tote Your house of cards falling down a jaded joke Fool me once silver shame on you You made many fools saying “I do”
