at the lake

if you were looking
you mighta seen
the shadow 
of the clouds
on the trees 
on the mountain
reflected in tha lake

if you were thinking
you mightve wondered
what is real

is a reflection real ?
a shadow ?
a cloud ?

how so, how no

if yore eyes were closed
you could (may be) still see

the shadows of clouds
passing over tha trees
branches waiving 
in tha wind

and what you see 
isnt (necessarily) memory
so much as projection

images projected 
on closed eyelids

are memories real ?
are projections ?
is imagination real ?

how so, how no

im wondering

(are you wondering  ?)  

how ta see whats true

with yer eyes closed

how ta know whats real

with yer eyes closed
