My words
—speak only for themselves
(Dreamsleep: September, 2019)
Entrapment
Classic intelligence,
built on complexity
Layer upon layer,
a spidering web
For us to get caught in,
for us to be trapped
Its capture most fatal
—not living or dead
(Dreamsleep: September, 2019)
Discoursed
Better to slip through
than run over
Better to finesse
than to force
Better to persuade
than to dictate
Discretion
—all meaning discoursed
(Dreamsleep: September, 2019)
Sacrificial Lambs
Hiding their poison,
colleges feign
Promising sunshine,
delivering rain
Knowledge infected,
politics vile
Lambs to the slaughter
—Athena defiled
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)
