Fake

Alan R

Those triggers talk

And they will certainly do so

About whatever defines them

Their opinions and their joy

And I struggle to gather a decoy

I cannot arrange fake, on a timer

Nor without one, on somedays

But perhaps not telling them this

Is fake enough.

    This required more than one reading. Life is full of triggers and timers and I love the last line that gives meaning to this for me.

      Yes, and I also stitched in the idea of collateral damages that come from sharing our thoughts with the wrong people, and the need to find ways to avoid that…

      Thanks for stopping by 😊
