Prose

In poetry, prose is a way of expressing thoughts without the visual line structures or rhymes that poetry has.
Here is an example of prose:
"The perception of reality
Breaks down when you ponder,
'What is real, and what is not?'
How would you define reality, anyway?
Is all of reality a dream world?
Are we awake as we sleep?
Is reality the presence of nothingness
That we somehow morphed into existence?
Nothing is real.
We are all imaginary."
~ "Reality" by Gilbert Martinez
