doublespeak:
how words
twist
from opposite corners
of one man’s mouth
to braid different versions
of the same lie
I was taught
to speak singly
& simply
learned early
truth talking
does not demand
a good memory
those lessons obsolete
when we can undo choices
retroactively
spin fiction
& call it relative truth
but not
in the Eisensteinian sense
interesting
how speech
has polarity
we do not love
with different sides
of the heart
but with both sides
fully
& that
should be
an example
for our lips

Lovely. Feels good waking up to read this.
Just one quip! “And what is truth?” Pilate to Jesus!
Yes, doublespeak goes back a ways, does it not? 🙂
Good morning–I am off to bed!
good morning!
🙂 Yawning & stretching hello 🙂
interesting
how speech
has polarity
Really liking those lines

Oh, David–thank you.

Thanks, Trent.
polarity.. both sides of the heart fully…good piece
Audra, thank you 🙂
Love it…I love the lines about not needing a good memory if one speaks the truth. Such a simple ‘truth’. 🙂
Yes–one I had to learn over and over as a child…
ha…yes, me too!
ps) dirt path here…my mother used some funky recipe for those zucchini cakes…she’d prefer something simpler. like yours perhaps? 😉
Oh—wonder why she did not? Moms.
yeah, they always know best right? lol
I agree totally with Ian. My favorite lines.
Thanks, Dannt. Glad you liked.
A lesson to be learnt … well written !!!
