Delusions of Candour

The suitably informed

Won’t look beyond their first source

That tells them what they knew all along

They’re right and you, of course, are wrong.

Blind panic

I am a mouse.

Timid. Listening.

Scrambling.

I’ll die.

You are a rock.

Human. Vast.

Beautiful!

My shelter in winter.

You see me and despair.

We’ll live.
