Lies
Lies
People fuck you over a lot.
You have to will your will
to the end, ultrafiltered by
God. Memories of a sorcerer.
Crooked ways, crooked days.
Eyes crisscross chipmunk squirt.
Days of never knowing quite
what the word “ethics” signifies.
Let alone “God”. She was a
cosmetologist. Such beautiful
faces. That’s where her heart
was, those magnificent
faces.
She liked to dress
“provocatively”. She also liked
to put her madness on display
memes and tweets and selfies.
And yet her relationships were
pure chaos. He wondered what
they were really like. She made
the mistake of falling for him
and tried to delete those files from
her memory and finally, she succeeded.
They say that self-deception is a
strategy of sorts, almost unconscious,
for those who deceive others. Deceive
yourself, believe your own lies,
and it’s easy, effortless to lie to others.
What snatches her weird alchemy sucked
up in the vortex of her “witchcraft”
(that was her name for this errant
superficiality).
