senior living

come to die here

in comfort and elegance

as much as possible given

reality

struck as i walked north

toward large window

at the end of the corridor

with reflected parallel

rows of light leading upward

toward the blue purple

hills

as though toward

heaven

complicate reality

reflected light skitters

through our conscious world

as though it had being

we perceive it with our eyes

allow at times our perception

to alter what we do

as though the image it projects

had dimension rather than mere

mental pattern recognition
