No Title (+3)

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
