Not Lies Exactly

Not Lies Exactly

They are, she claims, only other versions of the truth.

He doesn't trust her.

Perhaps he shouldn't. Β This may be a setup.

Others version of the truth, you say? Β What the

hell does that mean?

She's always been this way: inclined to use slippery

words instead of those which, like eating

oatmeal every morning, are immediately solidifying.

He wants to confront her, but it seems

useless. Β She'll only offer more lies cloaked in this

new dress. Β He's heard enough.Β

Dear Tony Taylor,

Thank you for your kind words. Β I am pleased your appreciated "Not Lies Exactly." Β I often use dialogue in my poetry, although I wonder if I occasionally overuse it.
