And so you find your self
cast out of Eden,
into a world of sinners.
Do you deserve this?
You imagine a creator
who imagines you.
You imagine a self,
separate from this creator.
You imagine perfection,
which cannot be understood or appreciated
without its seeming opposite.
So far so good.
Still perfect, still imagining.
You imagine others,
separate from this self
and separate from this creator.
You imagine a sexy monkey companion.
You imagine telling your self
that it is possible to screw this up,
even though all is perfectly imaginary.
But this “reality” doesn’t seem possible
until you make your self FORGET
that you are the creator.
Just as you imagine a snake.

In this poetic reflection, it appears that you are contemplating the idea of being cast out of a metaphorical Eden and entering a world of perceived imperfection and sin. The concept of a creator and the notion of separation from this creator are explored, highlighting the power of imagination and the role it plays in shaping our perception of reality.
The mention of forgetting one’s identity as the creator suggests that the experience of this reality becomes more tangible when we lose sight of our inherent creative power and engage with the illusion of separation. The symbolism of a snake could represent the temptations or distractions that lead us astray from recognizing our true nature as conscious beings.
This contemplation raises questions about the nature of existence, the purpose of duality, and the role of imagination in shaping our experiences. It invites introspection into the ways in which we create narratives and construct our understanding of reality.
Ultimately, the poem seems to encourage reflection on the interplay between imagination, perception, and the quest for self-realization within the context of a complex and often contradictory world.
