The Great Pretender

I pretend to pretend
pretend that this whole world
is a sub-atomic illusion

pretend that we are not whole
but holes

pretend that all our evil deeds
are just instinctive compulsions
from poorly-evolved minds

but when all the pretending's over
and I look into the basin of reality...

well, what?
it's not even there
no reality
not a whiff of it about

to see a world in a grain of sand?
there is no grain
there is no world.
