Light Casting

Another silhouette against the morning light

Another shadow in the corner of your eye

Slipping out of view

Spots in your vision, old ghosts to remind you

Find your place in the shade

Dawn casting rays upon your scarred and troubled face

The new day has come

Casting silhouettes in shape of days dead and gone

Shoddy Veil

Flowered words won’t make fact from fancy

Don’t waste your words on me

Have to learn to pick the fights you might have a chance to win

I see what lies behind the lace

A void of intelligence

Repugnant charlatan

Shyster

Mountebank

I see your face, you vapid little fake
