Splits consciousness like prisms split light.
Invokes a world of vibrant sine wave snakes
that bounce off imaginary walls 
and slither like perception.

He witnesses every scene, attesting,
caught up in a virtual stream
that streams by like pages in a bookflip.

A flock of birds fly together
like one being in an invisible field.

A coral brain sends signals
to a school of fish
and guides them where to swim.

A train rumbles through a city slum
through the heart of a village center
where generations come and pass 
like breath...

Where green grass grows 
and wet cement dries
and a cool lake freezes
as another summer dies.

Another lover cries
as reveries fade into transparency 
like a dying journey
leaving the emptiness of a ghost town.

Stars condense into holes 
that swallow the fabric of space and light 
and unite,
sucking each other in
like a cast of dream characters merging 
in some giant's dream who's waking up.

He is the watcher and the slayer
of every moment.

He is a spark in a sea of charged particles.

He stands in a void remembering who he is.

He is so very subtle.

If you noticed 
you weren't subtle enough.
