The Human Condition - Magritte draft

concentrate on periphery 
it's less dangerous or slippery 

edges blur, focus soften
don't question reality so often

frame the answer that you avoid 
then let thinking slide so not destroyed

disregard what's out of view
it may be core or coating that's untrue

perfection doesn't need attention 
be happy, comply with convention 

easels stand with three points of contact 
laws of physics, unchallenged fact

shadows are correctly situated 
lulled, partially sedated

pretty pictures they soothe the soul
relinquish self and forsake control 

smash obstruction, see reality
lose faith in safe mortality 

jump through windows, trust your own sight 
just not right now, no, please not tonight

close the curtains, forget this stage
no need to worry within your cage

look how peaceful we could be
without an eye for surreality
