Bodies and Antibodies

Why does the physical seem more real to me than the spiritual?

For Plato, reality was pure intellect.
Why do I feel different, not unique?

The body seems more real than the soul, that’s all.
Only a knee can genuflect.
That’s why the physical seems more real than the spiritual.

But Plato required the real to be eternal.
Well, the physical itself must be eternal in some respect,
quickest by becoming unique—

by becoming One, a singular not a plural—
not just a hamburger but a Big Mac—
the yummiest spiritual

entity of them all.
Unlike the physical, the spiritual is perfect,
genuine, and unique.

—Not wanting to expose either one of us to ridicule,
Plato, my friend (depending on how the deck’s
stacked): your spiritual takes my physical;
my different takes your unique.
