Things Are Not What They Seem




THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM

Things are not what they seem
Appearances are fabricated just as easily as poor
Mummers costume & make-up as queens and kings.

Things are not what they seem
An old deceit is on the make, the all too human default
too much likes to climb the cock's dunghill and sing.

Things are not what they seem
The mirror displays only reversals, the opposite is true
as a barbed lure glitters, as a baited fishhook swings.

Things are not what they seem
The seeming is the very trap set for green and naïve hunters
as the mother duck wrong-flies on her broken wing.

Things are not what they seem
Seeming is not the thing. Seeming is all too often
only seeming. Seeming is the sport of living things.

Things are not what they seem.
