Revolutionary Valentine

Is this picture crooked
or is it the country itself
do we really think we
don’t see them lying
to themselves and then to us
as if words weren’t already liars
the moving gesture of the lungs
the same in every language
used to say the great untruths
we gradually discard/relearn
you see how sententious
words become when we try
to take them seriously
how they’d like to take over
and push us completely to the side
