("Perception/Reality Merit Badge" #62, 2015, original oil) Smoke and Mirrors Amid the flux Of shimmering sound and vision Someone is lying Is it your eyes Is it your ears Is it those pulling the levers And splicing the tapes Or is it all of the above? In the end It’s not the lying that matters Since that’s what senses And people do It’s the believing That will get you in trouble Every time. (8/14/24
