The Real

(album: Drums Between The Bells - 2011)

The real
The flourish
Seeing the real in things
Really seeing the real
Describing the exact actuality of what it is you see
Or what it is you seem to see
You really seem to see the real
The exact and actual reality
Of the real in things you seem to see
The real thing
And no other voice or paint in this
But just the thing, you see
The thing you see
Is the real in things
What you see is what seems
The reels of this seem to mean the real in things
While real runs out and seems to reach the real
As it runs
No dry run
The real is done
The flourish
Seeing the real in things
Really seeing the real
Describing the exact actuality
Of what it is you see
Or what it is you seem to see
You really seem to see the real
The exact and actual reality
Of the real in things you seem to see
The real thing
And no other voice or paint in this
But just the thing, you see
The thing you see
Is the real in things
No dry run
(The real is done)
