Is Movement In the Mind

I move around the kitchen.
I move around the hall.
And then around the bathroom.
I move from wall to wall.

But has anyone considered
If we ever move around?
As images within our mind
are always inward bound! 

Could we be stationary
Never moving from a spot?
Our consciousness determined
by some devilish robot! 

Am I the only player?
Do I actually exist?
In a universe where I’m 
the one, no one will ever miss.

If a tree falls in the forest... That and movement in the mind --- two eternal philosophical riddles. Thanks, RT. ~ gw

There's an alternative to the 'If a tree falls in the forset' and it's to do with men. 'If a man has an opinion and there's no women anywhere nearby to hear it. Is he still wrong?' Thanks for the comment Gershon. Best...Ron :)
