Exhausted by the fluttering of the white flag
Wedged between crossed fingers
Suspended behind my own back
The narrow grid of my life
Changing violently
Like floodwaters expanding the bank of a river
Which is more dangerous
The lie we tell each other
Or the lie we tell ourselves
Is truth internal or external
We are inherently fallible
Yet potentially divine
Attempting to devastate ourselves
Encouraging confusion and misery
Erasing the impulse to pose and lie
Knowing the prerequisite
A certain rehearsed deception
Bruised within conventional programming
Unable to accept the delusion of a stranger
Naively mistaken as a teacher
Sabotaging life in an order to change it
I seduce myself into betrayal
Then a kiss...
