Perception's Precipice ... ?

Does the water only boil when you're paying attention? Can you taste the tension? Does the clock only tick when you stare at their hands? Can you see the impending demands? Are there words on the next page until you turn it? Can you smell the future while staying in stasis? Are there colors in the world until you look up from the floor? Can you feel the rigid softness while the pigments bleed and pour? Will the world still spin if you stand still? Can you understand the spite of it if you never kill? Will the lights still flicker if you close your eyes? When you open them will they hear your own surprise? Whatever you do? Will everything continue? Are you sure your consciousness is correct? Or are you just forcing the puzzle pieces in your skull to connect? Are you delusional? imagining these occurrences? Are you manifesting the consequences? Are these natural processes? Or did you conjure them with your subconscious wishfulness?
