REALITY'S IN THE RESPONSE

but I'm not in that conversation ... it's not a real conversation ... it's only imagined ... when has that slowed us down ... when has reality been a check ... when fantasy and reverie have been let run wild who's the one to stop them ... generally speaking it's the response ... sure you love imagination especially your own ... you love the sound of your own voice ... even more the sound of your own words ... in the fully imagined world all words and things are yours ... why wouldn't you love them ... why indeed ... but it's not something in them ... it's something without ... something they don't have ... reality's in the response ... take a trollope novel ... why do we love trollope so much ... it's not the stories ... it's not the language ... it's the characters certainly but it's how they respond ... what they do and why they say they do it ... even by their action they explain what they mean ... even when it was not quite the thing they meant to do ... everything we do is part of the conversation ... everything lord is for you
