Oh yes, I’ll have some brilliantly versed

quatrain about our geopolitical dealings,

- and brand myself an exile

- in protest of public policy.

Hell, on the side, I’ll disregard my truth to satisfy

your appetite,

- and assembly-line produce

- anything resembling the profound.

Anything seemingly mundane

- has no depth.

I think we’ve had this conversation before,

I remind you every time that:

- If I say undercurrents of inexplicable emotions

(lexicon of my heart) are no shallow misrepresentations,

- no one else could tell me otherwise.
