What's Unseen
Sometimes when we speak the truth
we tell the biggest lie
Intention stealing from the facts
meaning ill contrived
The pole is North though pointing South
when asked which way to go
when in the Northern Hemisphere
a liars truth misnome
Up is down when on your head
gravity be damned
motion forward, motion back
‘Silence Of The Lambs’
Sometimes when we speak the truth
we pander to mislead
as 2+2 is 8 in half
what’s missing—what’s unseen
(The New Room: May, 2022)
