poetry

today’s word is unhinged
no smooth swing

the door is open
or blocked

but that’s not
what they meant

meaning
a tacit agreement

apparently
implication

impermeability
cast the first stone

and ripple effect
impermenance

I said once
fallacy

stet
a half-truth is true

partially
check the partiality

formulate the response
and reach back

hurl at plate glass
fourth wall and fourth estate

land a blow
and deflect blowback

not a defect by design
blood thicker

than water
and maybe also ink
