Mandela Effect Returns

I’m starting to believe
something strange is happening.

Not reality shifting.

Not timelines colliding.

No it is so much Worse.

People are discovering
their memory
might be held together
with chewing gum
and confidence.

Someone swears
the bear was Berenstein.

Another person would testify
under oath
that a movie quote
said something else.

Suddenly we have got
amateur dimension detectives
solving crimes
against human recollection.

Because admitting
“I remembered wrong”

was apparently
too unrealistic.

Yeh, right, mate.

Surreal.... unreality... disconnection on steroids... All of it so patently shallow and phony. Arrrggghhh.
