Simple distractions. The ease
of subdued conversations. We lie
to one another because we lie to
ourselves first.
These exchanges —
what really is the hidden meaning
behind these overzealous accusations
and forthcoming of presumptuous
acts?
What is truth in subtle subjection's
and altruistic annexations? We cannot
sleep at night. The most evolutionary of all
humanly cycles—broken. Are you broken?
I am.

Maybe it is not so simple after all.
