reality slipped away
Buried inside a meaning deep,
its wolves were kept at bay
With feelings ablaze, all answers were torched,
a bonfire at the gate
New questions enshrined, false promises burned,
with ash to mark the way

—paroled in cold exile

To Believe In Both
I can believe in you
and not believe in your art
I can believe in your art
and not believe in you

—if I could believe in both
(Wayne Pennsylvania: July, 2014)

What you get
is not always
what you choose
What you choose
is not always
what you want
