Poetry isn't my strong suit.","content":"FACTION, FACTION: It's an abstraction;  \nenigmatic FACTION LIFE.  \n  \nFACTION LIFE: Mysterious,  \nstrange, and odd, and confusing us.  \nWhen I reveal what is behind,  \nmy mind perceives unknown material.  \n  \nIt's a FACTION, FACTION versus what is real.  \nFACTION, FACTION: Nothing's ideal.  \nFACTION, FACTION: A whisper behind me,  \n(FACTION, FACTION) \"We're right here.\"  \n  \nIs the distant hand's invitation a truth or a lie?  \nIt beckons from the border-less gradient realm to follow.  \nYou can't trust your senses beyond these broken fences.  \nChase after; You won't catch the vanishing point on mere pretenses.  \n  \nNow and then, I'm fraught with surprise, (BANG!)  \nlost in this labyrinth, wandering at times:  \nA bizarre puzzle that's in disguise. (GASP!)  \nThere aren't words for phenomena you can't describe.  \n  \nMore FACTION, FACTION: Opposition to everything that you once believed.  \nMore FACTION, FACTION: Dig a bit deeper you'll learn what's imperceived  \nReal or fiction?   \n  \nYou believe in truth, but in between, in the gaps, in a warp between dimensions,  \nyou don't believe there's a door in me leading down to darker descensions,  \nWhere fear straddles terror, where it crosses the border  \nFear on a straight line from friendship to horrible realization  \nA wavering tightrope from which I'll fall in exhilaration  \nFALL. DOWN.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Truth and lies and duplicity, (Thump)  \nintersecting, a maze into dichotomy.   \nWith fear or denial, can you reach me? (Gulp)  \nLeap into the pit of my distorted screaming!   \nMore, FACTION, FACTION, swim unto the core, so close, you think you can touch.   \nWill, FACTION, FACTION, you choose who you want, or what you can clutch?   \nNow! Take action!   \n  \nFACTION, FACTION: You cannot see  \n(FACTION, FACTION) beyond fantasy.   \nFACTION, FACTION: Now can you hear,  \nenigmatic FACTION LIFE?   \n  \nNight, night!   \n  \nNow and then, I'm fraught with surprise,   \nlost in this labyrinth, wandering at times:  \nA bizarre puzzle that's in disguise. (GASP!)  \nThere aren't words for phenomena you can't describe.  \n  \nMore FACTION, FACTION: Opposition to everything that you once believed.  \nMore FACTION, FACTION: Dig a bit deeper you'll learn what's imperceived:   \nReal or fiction?   \n  \nReal or fiction?   \n  \nReal or fiction?   \n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Poetry","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1925807-alpha-male-meets-tom-cruise-a-chillunz-storie.json"}}
