Altered Reality

What if

the floor was actually,

lava

Would we, be able to walk it.

without the souls of our feet

being melted

like society,

loosely bonded to its frame

What if we could see,

sound

Would we, 

perceive it differently.

imagination

becoming scarce

like an office worker,

sanity disintegrating

What if

and altered state would better fit,

reality

Would there 

be a line crossed.

or would negativity 

melt away 

into the lava

we say

--------

goodbye
