In the Haze



Wrought in the haze—
a thought:

One wonders
the deceit of man,
the authenticity of man;

Usually, at noon,
the doves fly by
my apartment window
seeking refuge from the rain,
or are they?

One ought to know
what lies beneath the radar;

What, the murderer?
What, the frivolous?
What, Atlantis?
Or the giant atop the sky?

Amid the fantasy—
a hideous reality
hides in plain sight
usually at noon.
