Subplots

6-20-17

The torque of perception
is the common denominator.
Nothing needs to be true to be believed.
Traffic in the present,
using the past as currency
toward a future you think you're creating,
and don't let doubt blindside you.
Avoid breathing sepia. Call your shots
in full-time technicolor vistas
or become another sidewalk statue
we wonder why we admire.
The starting points look so similar,
but the results are trivia answers
no one seems to know the questions to
so we fabricate facts thinking
no one's the wiser if we're all
subplots in everyone else's
looking-glass conspiracies.
