Intersubjective World And Subjective Reality

Christmas Markets in Europe, a brightly lighted carousel,

vaulted domes enclosing a fun fair in a Parisian cathedral

dedicated to delight & a border between India & Pakistan

 

Soldiers express hostility by only marching aggressively,

cheered by the crowds, joyously hilarious, thus diffusing

confrontational feelings without causing war - this world

 

Is filled with beautiful things - & for a few moments it lights

a spark in your mind, then your thoughts return to yourself,

domestic routines and loved ones - & if you can’t succeed

 

In penetrating the mystery of relationships, & if you can’t

experience and show love, if people are simply subjects

placed on earth to serve you - or beautiful objects to be

 

Admired from afar as their lovability is determined by their

ability to admire your superiority - while you remain blind

to their needs - then you are living in your head and you

 

Will be happy in your dreams & imagination only because

in the intersubjective world your heart is locked & closed-

off to your loved ones sharing subjective reality with you
