Anatomy of Illusion
It often seems to me that
everyday life is all about reading between lines, exposing rhetoric, making
choices based on hunches…and hoping for the best.
ANATOMY OF ILLUSION
World keeps turning;
life choices
like everyday heroes
exposing tricks of light
for shadows
World keeps turning;
its worst divisions
hosting jaded heroes
performing tricks of light
among shadows
World keeps turning
open minds,
its comic strip heroes
chasing Job’s comforters
into shadows
World keeps turning;
room at the top
for air brushed heroes
blaming the worst selfies
on shadows
World keeps turning;
Earth Mother
inciting its heroes
to challenge illusions cast
by shadows
Shadows, infiltrating
a world turning
on everyday heroes
tripping the light fantastic
into chaos
