She beguiled in inquisitions that bore no truth
I discoursed in ciphers no one sought to solve
I fondly recall in our smoke-yellowed slice of discount heaven
Not a moment of truth disturbed our vaporous sleep
She beguiled in inquisitions that bore no truth
I discoursed in ciphers no one sought to solve
I fondly recall in our smoke-yellowed slice of discount heaven
Not a moment of truth disturbed our vaporous sleep
May you never know the cold, calloused working hands of a Fair world
An impartial view never seize you by your scruff
Or principled and dangerous never turn dread eyes on you
May you never the horror of the Fair and free, my fair haired child
Or Necessity scrape your soft palms to the hypodermis
Picking agony through connective tissue for subcutaneous Truth
Truth?
Fair is the remorseless predator
A falling of a blade in a machine with no known purpose
Truth is an alien horror hiding deeper than bone
A lusus naturae you never speak to or invite in
Fair comes and goes
Truth permanently resides
