To Derick Varn's previous piece     To Derick Varn's next piece

Tricked by a word-
or so it seemed, 
	ideals that bleed
on fertile ground
color the grass
unnaturally.
	A mad man's meter,
soft-spoken sly tongue
	that forks your 
mind
	with Platonic forms.
If poets muddy their 
	waters for depth,
then they clear those 
	waves to let
		you drown.
