Belief Wins

Every time

By a brain, in

The mind VS.

Mind games

That can not

Decipher

A real event

From an

Imagined one




Remember when

You pulled a

Bright yellow

Cool dimpled

Lemon from

The fridge

Sliced it in half

With a sharp knife

To make slices

For lemonade

But instead

You brought that

Lemon half

Up to your mouth

Sank your teeth in it

For a big bite as

Your mouth fills

With saliva in

Anticipation of

The bitterness to

Gently swallow

While reading this

Asking yourself

Where is the lemon??




Oh yeah……



Belief wins

Every time

By a brain in

The mind VS.

Mind games



P.S.


If you reread this

It will happen again


In case you are wondering where the lemon is, it is floating in space inside Bertrand Russell’s teapot. At least that is what I believe.


“If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.”
