Whose Truth?

Whose Truth?


FIB
-i

sequences
might inspire one
to consider that one may FIB
in writing poetry: that intrinsic truth may not
be the ultimate goal – indeed
it may be instead
to present
the lie
as
TRUTH.

That
a
poem
is fact-based
is false thinking. A
poet wraps words in illusion
to illustrate (with pen as brush) truth as he sees it.
Journey, destination blur for
clarity's sake. Yet
dim minds still
perceive
the
FIB.
