Slick prediction

It was nothing but a brush of dust,
a quick ice trick, fickle as
a lover's glance. I ventured out,
took a chance, arrived uneventfully.
No fear here. It was a mere hallucination.

standing alone nicely...but



none of my hallucinations were" mere",
so I don't get that part completely

A chimera in the mind's eye. I often wonder if those prone to hallucinations, not drug induced, would be more at ease, if they didn't have to worry about it. :)
