THE MATRIX and the SNAKE PIT...
The sun is too hot.
No one can be told about the Matrix.
But it's just a girl,
he can't have changed that fast.
Just follow the white rabbit.
You can't make me love you.
I'm not the one.
The car crashes into the truck.
The helicopter splashes into the building.
The rag doll.
The red pill.
What is the nature of reality?
They used to think that you could cure insanity by throwing the patient
into a snake pit, that something that would drive a normal person
insane could do the opposite to a mad person.
The dream behind the real world,
the world behind the dream.
The Snake Pit,
The Matrix,
The Name of God,
Zone Six.
I can only show you the door.
You don't have to understand
the nature of your illness
to defeat it.
The difference between 5\%
and 10\%.
Who is mad
and who is sane?
Dr. Kick and Morpheus,
Neo and Hester.
After a while
all the nurses blend into one.
All the insanities merge
until only the divide remains.
The red or the blue,
awake or asleep.
Ward 1 or Ward 20.
Or just the snake pit.
My face is wet,
but I'm not sure if it's blood, sweat or tears.
It seems I chose a bad day to give up reality.
