The Bait

Location

Valencia, slumber, and inkwell

Shades and tainted images hide well

The blemishes and marks that always dwell

 

Lest depicting realness, an uncensored weakness 

A witty skill, unknown to those seeking just a thrill

The humor of one, not funny to many

 

Yet my image is

Splintered, split 

Crumbled, clipped

Fractured, fixed

Erased, effaced

 

For the preference of one 

For an alluring taste to the tip of the tongue

For the perfect bits of media chum 

For an audience of many parts, yet fixed to single fishing braid

 

Yet I am not a piece of bait.
