A Photosynthesis of Conversion

A Photosynthesis of Conversion
David J Walker

The tender plants bow under the 
Sun and dance to the voices of 
Indecisive winds in
A compliance of survival 
Confessions of sins of omission 
And confusion of missions 
Pay for admission to the 
Summer Social

And when called upon 
Singing the sacrament of 
Dissonance in words that
They can and cannot remember 

The tender plants mature 
Denying they are what they are
In a deception of plausible 
Disinformation where
Such lies are the hiding places
Of obvious truths
