No matter how I try. The qualia. Of another life. What is it like to be you? What is it like to be you? You can tell me your story but I'll never know. What it's like to be you. A glimpse of your life as I drive past. A christmas tree through the glass. I speculate of warmth and love But I could be wrong. I could be wrong. Your neighbor living in a tent. A victim of the rising rent. I speculate a wholesome past. But I could be wrong. I could be wrong. You'll never know how hard I try to understand another life. I speculate all sorts of things, But I could be wrong. I could be wrong. Seeing a penthouse from under a bridge. Denying the pain of the filthy rich. Imagining comfort and luxury But I could be wrong. I could be wrong. I can't see their tears through the blur of my own. What it's like to be them I'll never know. I project my own ideas around. But I could be wrong. I could be wrong. I'll never know. No matter how I try. The qualia. Of another life. I speculate the good and bad But I could be wrong. I could be wrong. Qualia Unlived: The imagination of the experience of another. Just because I thunk it, don't make it true. The life I imagine another person to be living doesn't actually exist, hence it was unlived.
