somebody puts outta version
(or reality) of reality,
using words
their friends & then friends of
theirs (have to?) accept that
take on reality
put out earlier,
which in turn gets spread
eventually you come across
this reality of reality
and decide to weight it
among the others,
investing the words w/
meaning and so on
in time, enough people
have supported this view of
reality that it gets to have
the status as fact
we buy into this
reality, and thus w/ our
support it takes hold
pretty soon lots of people
support it--like a mask
worn at tribal
ceremonies--and woe
betide he or she who
would remove it
