Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily
Solipsism- noun- the view or theory that
the self is all that can be known to exist.
I think a solipsist
must, by definition,
also be an optimist
since every good thing
would be your gift
to yourself, evidence,
a manifestation of the
good inside you, what
you love about yourself-
a child laughs, you
did that, the sun rises
and is orange and glows
because you glow,
the magnificence of sex
is your magnificence-
and every bad thing
becomes a statement
of faith, since you
could only make what
you could overcome,
what you could have
undone. Every bad thing
becomes a puzzle, a
type of exercise, a way
to know yourself, and
even death cannot be if
you are a solipsist, since
death is other, and even
in the chaos and the
darkness of sleep, you
continue on, finding
strange ways backward
and forward, passing more
easily through yourself,
so if anything, death
becomes an open door.
