In Plato's Cave

By Robert Simola

The world of the imagination and the world of the senses
have always met in an unknown country with no fixed boundary
where mimetic relationships are stretched past the breaking
point with no more care or concern than an elephant in a house
of mirrors would have for an ant.

And even when the connection isn't obvious, there is still
a connection between the web of words spun into a poem and
that poem's causal factors. A always leads to B even when it
does not seem possible to go from A to B because the journey
takes place on a mobius strip stretched, folded, and refolded in
on itself like it has had been placed on a taffy-pulling machine
and been forgotten.

But even when pulled and stretched out of shape, the causal
link never breaks. The center does hold. Mere anarchy is never
loosed upon the world. This book explores those hidden and
transmogrifying steps and worlds I find when I step out my back
door and find myself in worlds where one thing always leads to
another.
