29 What Is Real?

Is real what happens when the sun comes up andBrightens your day and promises a tomorrow thatWe can’t guarantee because all we know is timePasses with every minute like a football game? Reality doesNot guarantee we’ll win the bet but we have confidenceOne team will win, even though we can’t guaranteeThe game will ever end. However, if you’ve never beenTo a football game in person can you even be sureIt isn’t just a hologram if you’ve never touchedThe grass and felt the pads or took the hit to feelWhat touch is like? If touch is based on human interaction,Can you be sure that other people actually exist? WeFeel what we feel, but it might feel different to the otherThings we touch, if we can even call them people.
