So regarding that synesthesia post.
Where I said versimilitude is like green silk falling.
Here is a poem about what versimilitude sounds like and feels like. Because a quick description can't fully discover what versimilitude feels like. Or really much details about it at all. Poetry comes a bit closer, but still can't quite completely get the idea, either.
~~~
An exuberance
of pontificating words
spilling out like brocade cloths and lace
from a dresser drawer
and verisimilitude falling
like raw silk light green
reflecting and shimmering
against a waterfall of mercury
and then reality has
performed its vanishing act
now
then
again
the waterfall
pools on the floor
reality
has puddled up in
silver
beads on glass
a reflecting pond on
a mirror leaving only dreams above
they fly up like
autumn leaves in a whirlwind like butterflies disturbed
along the edge of a
mirror
only now reality
still vanquished
do they attain
refracted light and
puzzle pieces of sky fall to the ground
leaving a black box
and dreams
