Love the choice of "fixa...Grace: Interesting! Love the choice of "fixated" which is an interesting tendency of mind. <br /><br />I wish I understood the last two lines about the red pill. I thought of two fun and related metaphors:<br />(1) a pomegranate: red fruit (from your first stanza). A fruit posited by some religious traditions to be the forbidden fruit in Genesis.<br />(2) the red pill in The Matrix (movie): which reveals unpleasant truth.<br /><br />See their connection?<br /><br />The poem jumping from "I" to "You" and back to "I" makes me see a scene with a couple (perhaps in this time of isolation) sitting in their living room, far too familiar with each other while one (the "I") is obsessed with physical/sensual sensations and she/he is criticizing the partner who is "fixated" or distracted by things far less real (crystals, unheard mumurings etc). And so to escape the oppressive relationship, the sensual spouse grabs her red psych pills, no the pills are not the two mentioned above).<br /><br />See what happens to the reader when there is little guidance and much vagueness. Smile. Now, reading through the comments, I see talk about the red pill but not the other things I mention -- my guess, they didn't wonder further -- too abstract. Must of been my morning coffee that kept me going.
