California Gaslight

Trapped inside
his mirror
Prevarication 
flows
A narcissist
parading
The emperors 
— new clothes

True Compass

The truth encompass
A university and a idea
that which should be
Suffered to the saintnesity
Of God and explicated as a
Meaningful prevarication'
Of His love

Pivot

Perhaps we can
Prevent committing
Perjury if we can
Pivot away from
Prevarication long enough to
Posit the truth when 
Presenting ourselves at traffic court

A beguiling cat does everything for gain.
His innocently jaded, kindly, loving, mein -
not only prevarication,
quietly raising station,
trotting up, vexingly, while xeriscaping your zone.

Veracity Returned

Lying to myself…
  the truth swimming free

Escaping prevarication,
  abandoning my schemes

The water got deep,
  its weight dragged and pulled

Till veracity returned
   —resuscitation fulfilled

Until Veracity Returned

Lying to myself,
  the truth broke free

Escaping prevarication
  abandoning my schemes

The water got deep,
  as the weight dragged and pulled

Until veracity returned
   —resuscitation fulfilled

Premium Member Prevarication Maybe

sometimes,
    sometime soon
maybe March
perhaps June
    anyways we'll see
later
whenever-
      wait on
I guess
it might well be
      no matter
wherever
no question
   I'll think about it-
tomorrow
              or
    the nextday
trust me

    The finest minds are clouded
      Right and Wrong are in question

    Complexity is prized
      by those who are best in

    Avoiding the consequences
      of their twisted mutations

    Self-proclaimed gurus declaiming

At What Point

At what point…
  does the fiction you’ve created become true

At what point…
  do old lies make more sense than new truths

At what point…
  do prevarication and veracity reframe

At what point…
  do they come together—their message the same

Prevarication

Prevarication

You did not confirm, 
neither, did you deny. 
You avoided, shuffled, shifted ... 
moving away from my question.
You are a master 
of prevarication, 
disinformation, 
intellectual slight-of-hand.
You did not answer my question ... 
but, in your silence, 
you did.

Twin Sisters

Damning two lies
with only one truth
Deception remixes 
like gin and vermouth

Jumping from one
as the other got hot
Port in the storm
where perdition is fraught     

Grace in short order
 with blessings denied 
Thomas redoubting
 all faith circumscribed  

Prevarication
twin sister of pain
The Word caught between them
—trapped to remain

(The New Room: July, 2023)

I am safe when you are near, 
like a baby nestled in
his mother's arms.
I can breathe without gasping
and speak without stammering,
my embarrassment fades  
in the glow of your smile.

I need no safety net; 
there is no pretense, no prevarication;
your closeness brings me 
to a feeling of well-being.

Dancing with the lights low
and kissing in the rain,
holding you so tight
and hoping that you'll 
never let me go

I feel complete.

...for Juvie


I am safe when you are near, 
like a baby nestled in
his mother's arms.
I can breathe without gasping
and speak without stammering,
my embarrassment fades  
in the glow of your smile.

I need no safety net.
There is no pretense, 
no prevarication,
your closeness brings  
a feeling of well-being.

Dancing with the lights low
and kissing in the street,
holding you so tight
and hoping that you'll 
never let me go

I feel complete.

Prevarication

Prevarication 

There is this wall outside not a big wall
but it needs to be painted, promised to 
coat it twice when it got cooler

it is colder today but it is overcast and
looks like rain, what a pity; anyway 
I haven’t, got a paint roller not paint. 

I’ll buy the stuff I need this afternoon
if it is not raining or too hot. I hate 
painting it makes such a bloody clutter.

Anyway the wall is new, grey cement 
looks quite cute, smells of freshness,
perhaps I will paint the wall come spring.
