Same Old / Same Old

October 10, 2024

Judging opinions

by their age

proscriptions

lie in wait

Consensus stained

with fear and guilt

folly

overstates

Knowledge of others

unknown to self

deception points

one way

Value weighed

in layers of dust

the truth held

—far at bay

(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)
