Domino Effect

Starts with but asingle-hinged myopic

            Flight of fantasy

Falling fast on ears tooeager to

            Exact veracity.

Bursting, bouncing,echoing beyond the bounds

Whereonce begun

Its legend grew on wingsthat flew

            To spread beyond the setting sun.

Then one to cover, one

            To deny,

And one to set the recordstraight.

One to give a reason why.

            Far too little,

            Much too late.

Til hiding becomescommonplace

And walls of Jell-O shiftand bend

In vague translucenceseeking light

To find the rub

            To put to end.

And so they crash, thesedominoes

Unburdened any weight ofproof.

No hindrance or abatement

Tilting, falling,seeking,

            Finding truth.
