"Submission to the Court of Unreals"
by Jeph Johnson
unreal's almost uncanny
when the comfort of love grows
and then, in minutes,
is obsolete.
-
artificial esteem disappears
while mystique vanishes
into a nightmarish emptiness
leaving you
scrambling
for the real.
-
coincidences continue
preaching paranoia
while memories masterfully prove,
beyond a shadow,
that you doubt
she was telling
the truth
the whole truth
and nothing but the truth
with her lies
