I sense the world might be more dreamlike,
metaphorical, and poetic than we currently believe ―
but just as irrational as sympathetic magic
when looked at in a typically scientific way.
I wouldn't be surprised if poetry--
poetry in the broadest sense,
in the sense of a world filled with metaphor,
rhyme, and recurring patterns, shapes, and designs ―
is how the world works.
The world isn't logical, it's a song.
David Byrne, Bicycle Diaries
