the unbetrayal

I ate the idea of my own foot
once, it
was delicious, and the aftertaste
haunts.
I stopped telling lies when I realized
truth
was about the same in value, plus
it insulates you. I constructed
echo chamber of my own design,
I refuted invitations to join
my kind.

I can teach how to
not do
any such stunts

but
I can't teach
myself. Which is

what I don't want.
