29 What Is Real?
Is real what happens when the sun comes up and
Brightens your day and promises a tomorrow that
We can’t guarantee because all we know is time
Passes with every minute like a football game? Reality does
Not guarantee we’ll win the bet but we have confidence
One team will win, even though we can’t guarantee
The game will ever end. However, if you’ve never been
To a football game in person can you even be sure
It isn’t just a hologram if you’ve never touched
The grass and felt the pads or took the hit to feel
What touch is like? If touch is based on human interaction,
Can you be sure that other people actually exist? We
Feel what we feel, but it might feel different to the other
Things we touch, if we can even call them people.
