Nothing If Not Aware Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

Cartoons imagined as receptive

Frame senses to appear perceptive

Illusions spring without redress

Reality retreats in sleight recess

And what is real is just a guess


Caricature is loss preventive

More than this is just inventive

Watching now let mind confess

Blurred and blinded by pretences

Existence lives in half non-senses


Character and self are thus elusive

And skillful means at best evasive

Marking thoughts with patience

Breaths become my lenses

And absences my references
