A real life ends, but is imagined
by those left behind. An imagined
death becomes reality, eventually. [private]
The square root of minus one
can’t exist since a squared number
can’t be negative
but imaginary numbers yield
real answers in the real world.
The difference between reality
and imagination: a false oasis
that blurs, shimmers
and melts before my eyes. [/private]
