Do not talk to me like that!
– like what? Your reality is flawed!
Well tell me what is reality then!
– reality is what you are breathing right now.
Reality is an individual thing so no one can say
– well then it is imagination, not reality.
Not true! Your reality is different that mine!
– no it’s not, it is opinions that are different.
You have a deformed view, my reality is not yours
– yes it is. The sky is blue, the grass is green, the wind blows, these things are the same, these things are reality.
Yes but…..
– and are not formed by your opinion or imagination. The reality is that you live.
Yes but…..
– the reality of how you live it is called choice.

And then the sun rises and glints off the empty bottles
as you wake to the embrace of old whisky and an Arab armpit in your mouth.

Such are the consequences and dangers of spending a night arguing with oneself
