What seems to be just a glass of water
changes when viewed through a microscope.
Sometimes it is better to go through life
without that close-up view -
choose pretenses and fantasies
filtered through rose colored glasses
otherwise we become like a Howard Hughes
terrified of those microscopic elements
poised to attack our bodies to make us ill...
yet, in isolation, our real illness is revealed.
Better to view life through dreams
and make-believe, to be a Hollywood star,
or save the world like Angelie Jolie
instead of being a potential host
where so many germs can dwell.
