The artist said
"Life is the attempt to bring one's mind into reality"

The scientist said
"Life is the attempt to bring reality into one's mind"

                                    They looked at each other

And the artist wondered
"How could I tell you what I am thinking?"

And the scientist wondered
"What are you thinking, how could I tell?"

The artist then became so preoccupied with how to express what was inside of him,
He forgot what was inside of him to express

While the scientist became so preoccupied with what he observed in front of him,
He forgot how to describe what he observed

                                    They continued to look at each other

                                    Attempting to bring something into something
