Broken Lie

Talk to me
about what feels good

Explain it in terms
I already believe

I respond
as if repeating

In words 
down the thread

Memory is fiction
but narrative truth

Holds up a mirror
as concepts flow south

Metaphors and overdone words
become an internal cliché 

Extend and expand
or relive today

What is the same
who's to say different

Alto to blame
base is the reverence

Worshipping flame
whose heat grants a severance

Em(ploy) is a game
won by the consequence.
