I will sink my teeth into this and comment further...but let me say just as I tell one poet that I have read the best poem of the night you post exactly that. Self examination with the understanding of I. Something I love, and have written about many times. This actually reminds me of one of my writes, only this is deeper and digs underneath layers I did not touch. As I said I will comment further once I have had a chance to really read and study this. It is fascinating! I am off to bed because I am sleepy as hell, but I could not go until I expressed that this BLEW ME AWAY!

An illusion is still a memory. And too, after I type this, it will be a memory, even if you cannot access that memory. In a year or two, if you came back to read this, you'd say, oh yes, I remember Tim leaving this comment. They're all there, these memories. We just don't know how to access all of them.

Thank you for an incredible read.
