untitled (today anyway)

it's different than
the way you told it
i'm fine with that

what time did you say
we were finished?
is it that your eyes
can't wash away
what you imagine?
is there no reconciling
vision with what i know
to be real?

i look out on a
lake
and see the darkness
underneath
whole towns
and villages
swept under
a wave of progress; you
insist on seeing the reflection
of the clouds. who gets the most
out of the truth? is it the surface
that tells us the most of what
we want to see? if you learn
the answer leave a message.
