The Mag - Trick The Eye

"As we face each other in omnibuses and underground railways we are looking into the mirror, that accounts for the vagueness, the gleam of glassiness-

The novelists in the future will realize more and more the importance of these reflections, for of course there is not one reflection but an almost infinite number; those are the depths they will explore, those the phantoms they will pursue."

Virginia Woolf

THE MAG

The way we live

is how he paints-
like silent moving pictures,
standing still.

Still Life, 1907 by John Frederick Peto

TRICK The EYE

and so he did

as so do we.

Time and time again.

Our eyes set highest on life's 

throne above all else.

Reality's illusion

Which never happened at all

or did it-

be it subtle or clever

embrace plainness

acquire simplicity.
Dream to be.

See with buoyant eyes

surprise your mirror

reflection

reveal what's in your sight

time and time again

before all else
be that which you dream to be
leave it all to trickery
time and time again.
