Telling lies,

conversations

with the older self

Funhouse mirror,

distorted views

of the younger self

Tribal drums,

beat after beat

pretending not to hear

A selfie pic,

disregarded

reality is hard to bear

Sunday school,

a skeptic’s muse,

what do we really know?

The reaper weeps,

dusk til dawn

teardrops reflect the sow
