Preface for Fool of Consciousness
“Notes from the Mind’s Abyss”
This poem was born at the edge of reason — during a time when I couldn’t tell if I was waking from a dream or falling into one. I wrote it as a teen, but it feels like it came from someone much older, or much more unhinged — questioning truth, chasing illusion, laughing at logic.
It’s unhinged, yes — but deliberately.
This wasn’t meant to be understood. It was meant to disturb. To mirror that inner fugitive we all carry — the one who sees meaninglessness not as despair, but as freedom.
What is real? What is virtual? And who decides?
Ask the fool — he’s not lost. He just doesn’t play by your maps.
