An Upright Poem

“Straight up,” we say
when claiming honesty,
which might indicate that
truth needs perpendicularity.

Does it follow, therefore,
that those prone to lies
are always horizontal,
and untruths not called stands?


Line count: 8
Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 10.13.22
Prompt: Perpendicular.
