Red herring, that. Or macguffin
or something similar, only less
misused. This poem's about
itself some way other than
what the title, up there, alludes. I apologize
if you surfed right in on an engine hard-pressed
against your skin, to discover some wisdom
dreamed so clear, but I really cannot
quite help you, dear. Which
Admittedly could be called "jack
move," or a "punk" or a "prank," but
I'd no intent to cast any net of mine
half-wide enough to fish
for anyone half so bent
on revenge. Now I run
for my life, I've been outed
and doxxed like a bagel with lox
cut halved by knife, spread in
public view, as the vultures
descend, their hunger for vitals
comes down without end. Won't you
Please take pity on me, or not?
It's really not worth the consequence,
and I do mean for either of us. You have no
idea
what guest you invite
by such trust unspent.
