A Touch of Reality

by R. D. Ashby

I tell you, at any given time
reality is speculation
confirmed only in the mind.

Rather than what we see
co-extensive to what we don't
is the thought comprising both.

And all our yesterdays perform
equally as all our future
in the thought that's present.

So don't grab something, and say:
This is real, this I can feel: Any
talk of God is mere speculation.

Fact is, they're the same thing:
A touch of reality
makes the thought in everything.
