When
a politician
Says
in a speech a thing
The
people know he doesn’t mean,
Many
call the lie a throwaway line
And
let him be, for, so wise,
They
have outgrown wrong and right.
When,
just as heedless, men and women
Offer
a prayer of thanks to God the King,
Whether
long or short, thoughtful or hurried,
Before
binge-eating
And
binge-watching
And
binge-buying,
They
too have not simply
Thrown
away some empty
Lines,
but all their being.
