a black and white photo of a wall

Can we call it realism?
When looking through that broken prism
Of hurtful gaze, the binding schism
A lack of kind determinism

Let's ponder the reductionism
A flight of fancy egotism
Revitalized with botulism
A Botox burning syncretism

It feeds upon my organism
Perhaps it's just
Astigmatism.
