“ULTERIORITY”
“Ulterior” motives and hidden meanings
Poets pen pieces-- revealing feelings
Sometimes hidden—predominantly exposed
Often the two, inevitably—juxtaposed
Robert Frost first coined this phrase
“Uteriority”—ambiguity, repeatedly betrays
Our existence completed for your amusement
Anonymity disguising inferiority-- improvement
Portraying sincerity as we donate our loyalty
Exteriority, agreeability, absurdity – our flamboyancy
Written voices sprinkled with passion and emotion
We formulate infinity with dedication and devotion
