Reverse Dunk ~ Friday, 4 January 2019

Behold the beholder of beauty, eye to eye, 
even when no one else sees your self-deception, 
heaven and hell scan minds, read thoughts, root out the lie, 

only speculation drives metaphysics, spy 
lurid visions of men waiting in reception, 
doctors' offices are perfect to meet the eye, 

to catch a thief, police secure and lure with fly, 
hold the rod with both hands, fish read interception, 
even the pass-rush game covers mouths with the lie, 

behold The Scream, also known to some as The Cry
even a language game fakes a misconception, 
hold your own forgery at arm's length from the eye, 

only an abortion asks a fetus to die, 
lift the sanctions to harm to aide contraception, 
diminish the chances problems rest with the lie, 

evade the reporters' questions that make fish fry, 
reporters ask questions as to shift perception, 

offer a man a fish, he starts to taste the lie, 
finish the trout problem, poke ethics in the eye.

Beauty screams the actor seeking some attention, 
endure his Joy on screen while Love proclaims his creed, 
assess the damage done to disrepair the tree, 
understand the Eighties, a Killing Joke, to feed 
the disaffected youth with disregard, once free 
yesterday will portend omens with memories, 

eye with displeasure past conquests as wise mistakes, 
yes, wisdom suffers, as owl and moth hide from light, 
eye with contempt reason, logic demands systems, 

trenchant criticism denies dreams' reveries, 
oblong objects to pass without lateral fakes, 

eye the drone camera ready to shoot at night, 
yet, this operation catches the thief place gems 


eye to eye with tigers bored in their detention.
