Clarity Wiped Away

 

Saponaceous substance was smeared on my  

windshield, a veil obscuring the clear view.  

The world outside blurred, distorted by the  

thin layer, a film that twisted truth and lies.  

Hands reached out to cleanse, but only spread  

the slick residue, a futile attempt at clarity.  

Eyes strained, seeking the familiar, the known,  

yet only found reflections of what was lost.  

Each swipe an erasure, a rewriting of what  

once was seen, now hidden beneath the gloss.  

The road ahead unclear, each step a guess,  

truth and vision entwined in slick deceit.
