um, yea, you know, yea, whatever ... you know?

always stranger the truth

than i can say

always stranger the truth

than i can know

the truth lives in approximations

we imagine though we live it

the truth

fixed deeply within our rest and motion

the truth

nestled down next to fantasy and delusion

pure and simple the truth

raw and winsome

keen and fearsome the truth

sharp and winsome

direct

elusive

drawn effusive the truth

is only what you make of it

is nice so long as you can use it

i was speaking the truth one day

in the mental hospital

and no one was listening

Update:

THANX LILLY. Let's try it this way:

raw and wholesome

keen and fearsome the truth

sharp and winsome

    i'm assuming

    the speaker in the hospital was a patient, not a ward?

    also i wonder on the double appearance of the word "winsome"

    also, i enjoy the original question "um, yea, you know, yea, whatever ... you know?" yeah yes yep for sure.

    interesting poem

    A comma after always and full stops after 'say' and 'know' etc....The rest of the world is used to guides like commas, full-stops, capital letters, etc. How about you helping us more conventional types to read your poetry with greater ease?

    I know, I'm wasting my time - you are you and words of wisdom from me won't change you. Ho-hum.

    Flows well with good rhythm. Non-conclusive...much like the truth...it's pen to the readers interpretation. Nice
