The Ruse
Today I see quite clearly…
The Ruse
I don’t think
I ever took the world
at face value—
not even as a child.
There always
seemed to be
something not-quite-right
about it all;
the surface
clearly wasn’t
all there was.
Today
I see
quite clearly—
I’m alone;
the rest of you
have fallen for the ruse.
