So often he attempts
to change words
he has said.
Words that he says later
do not mean
what they convey
There will never be
enough blotters, or erasers
or black markers to cover all
that he would amend
or alter if possible
A secret disclosed
once redacted
becomes evidence
that he desires his words
to remain unconfirmed
A secret is a secret
only if concealed,
totally hidden
and never unearthed
Redaction is an action
to revoke or nullify
words and actions that
may or may not be undoable

A secret is a secret
