Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

The Puppeteers Strings

What if our reasoned language
   can’t provide any answers

  —what if time isn’t real

What if the thoughts that we have
   are embedded distractions

  —what if reflection conceals

What if the feelings engendered
  are like puppeteers strings

  —what if truth doesn’t dance

What if the past and tomorrow
   are death to the moment

  —what if it’s all just a trance

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)
