The Squirrel Effect

To Ariel Gold

I often think
that real life is
actually illusion,
and we are all
like shadows
in the sun.
Eventually,
we’ll run
into the circle
of the skeptical
conclusions.

And here
we’ll simply
entertain ourselves
like squirrels
in the circle races.
We’ll lose our souls,
lives and faces,
and hide forever
in the empty shells.
