Maybe Descartes Got It Wrong

I am therefore I think.
I awake therefore I stop dreaming.

I have eyes therefore I see.
I itch therefore I scratch.

God does not exist
therefore I don't believe in her.

I am a law-abiding citizen who likes to relax
therefore I drink alcohol

occasionally to excess,
whatever that might mean.

I am a senior citizen therefore I remember
events that never occurred.

I am a rational being therefore I notice
that the world is run by madmen.

I sometimes have doubts about my own sanity
therefore I have never consulted a psychiatrist.

I am a poet therefore I am aware
of the relevance of red wheelbarrows.

I am alive therefore I shall witness
the dying of the light.
