the sensory overload

that makes a dog's

tail curl...makes me

want to mime that

Old Man.

too rich for bones.

seeing is believing
to an eye that ever tries

showing is deceiving
when the unseen never lies

Roses are read
Violets are blew
is this poem gay
or written by an ESL student

Good & Evil
worst
Right & Wrong
better
Strong & Weak
best

Motion & Repose
Karma

Lies are beautifully stained
glass
attractive, dispersing
singularity of light in-
-to theaters of color,
dramatic iridescence

Truth is Other
see-through, immaculate
never thing unto itself
humble as a pane
that bids the eye
to the open sky

Every master
of the art of losing
was once
a rookie winner
