Because the mind is so complex

Who's the who, who is foreseen?
Who's who, who perceives the dream?
Who's the me, who's the you?
Who is who, who brews the coup?...

Beautiful bushes, each has her own hue.
They’re all in my yard.
Inspire this bard.

One in a million.
A dollar will do.
To win it would be quite a coup.
