she pointed happily
in a state
of permanent delusion
at a sign
inked
in lenticular design
refined
by the subtle shading
of ignorance
defined
by the absence
of color
broadcast
in high definition
directly
into the hippocampus
of the benign

i just shrugged
and
went back to sleep
sometimes
delusion is contagious
deep down
knowing
in the end
we are all
illusionary constructs
in the hands
of a toddler
with
attention deficit disorder
in desperate need
of a nap
allusionary
in the face
of reality
