Just what is the truth;
what is illusion?
I can’t distinguish
reality from
fiction anymore:
a well-intentioned
deception meant to
spare sensitive fools
from feeling the pain
of knowing the truth,
or the maddening
inability
of simply reading
a situation.
In these things I’m lost.
I am a man of
a secular faith,
a way of saying
I do not have faith.
I need proof of fact.
And I don’t have it.
