Delusions

                          for Ken Bolton

Delusions, one
size

fits
all. All

fits

if and when delusion
is an agreement

not quite

reached, like the thought of painting
a giant woodlouse

on the side of a building

for every good reason
there is a possible

delusion

that some believe is similar to a crustacean
while others

focus better

on the smorgasbord of cognition with its
hot and cold, blurred and sharp, historical and a-

historical, and the little inviting bowl of

nuts
which is where I place myself, nutty and

wishing to be something of a kernel of,

well, something
roots would produce without thought.
