notional illuminations ?

Perceptions through a Champagne Glass

by d.a.sparrow (c) 1993

-
View the true split by glass distorted
Rendered a lie by liquid contorted.
Truth in transit via reflected light
Made false in delivery by transparent might.

Is this vessel but a mote
a corrupting point of view ?
Or the lie a needful beauty to "reality" imbue ?

All around the room there is But Of Course no change
Despite the glass that holds lying liquid
which tries to rearrange.

So truth remains the same, both within and without
And "All" makes up reality, both the knowing and the doubt.
Thus false is not, but rather, everything found true
Hey, I'll drink to that sweetheart ... here's looking at you !
