poetry by j matthew waters

deprogrammed


as time passes the loss remains
though shapes & sounds continue to change

what you hear from the webspinners
is exactly what you get
not fact or fiction or partial truths
but rather an amalgamation of sorts

like a kid in a bowling alley
you really don’t know what goes on
behind the scenes
and when you start asking around
nobody else seems to know either

they say the only evidence the police found
was a skeleton key
& a letter from a former lover
saying she was happy life was boring again
now that the conspiracy has passed
