Reality and Expectation,

The subjective lenses of consciousness.

Expectation expressed through the motivational quotations of Einstein and Gates,

Seamlessly interwoven into those algorithms,

To feed the gluttonous Expectation,

Comforting the constructed self with warm whisperings of reassurance,

Because, "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best".

Meanwhile, Reality chuckles.

A finger on the fine loose thread of the constructed self,

Veins bulging with excited anticipation,

Waiting...waiting...waiting,

For Coincidence to marry Irony,

When Reality can yank the thread and bask,

Bask in the cruel, sweet power of Reality over Expectation.
