 The Truth (for George M. Calger)

 

The truth won’t set you free

It’s a calliope

It plays a hundred tunes

You choose your dance and dance it

Get out of step and you will see

A die with symbols rolling

Faces skewed by different angles

Or a square kept there by an immobility of the head

 

The truth won’t set you free

It’s a catastrophe

A centipede inching towards its inevitable destination

The legs don’t add up to a hundred

But it bites just like they said.

 

The truth will set you free

To wander in the desert

Where the wind blows like a calliope

And the centipede wends its way towards

Your rock paper bed

 Reviews of "The Truth"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on June 27, 2016
Yes, I find this form rather strange. Kind of like a Salvador Dali painting with everything out of place and droopy.

Perhaps it is because the truth is too hard for most people to take. So they'd rather live the lie instead.
