Homophonic Phenomena

Homophonic Phenomena
David J Walker

How freely dismissed 
The simplest forms 
That reason must take 

	Mistaken 
For roads
	Not taken

Or feigned to take  

The vagabonds path
To madness and night

The phenomenon
	Of a homophone 
left to its own
Devise

Hidden emendation
	Alterations 
Of eruditious representations 

Truth hidden within 
alternative alliterations 

which no cavalier palaver
 may define
