In Broken Images

He is quick, thinking in clear images;

I am slow, thinking in broken images.

He becomes dull, trusting to his clear images;

I become sharp, mistrusting my broken images.

Trusting his images, he assumes their relevance;

Mistrusting my images,

I question their relevance.

Assuming their relevance, he assumes the fact;

Questioning their relevance,

I question the fact.

When the fact fails him, he questions his senses;

When the fact fails me,

I approve my senses.

He continues quick and dull in his clear images;

I continue slow and sharp in my broken images.

He in a new confusion of his understanding;

I in a new understanding of my confusion.
