Here lies
a liar,
Lying quietly,
pants afire;
A lie-deployer
heretofore,
And now a
stoic lier.
Welcome, those few
who've inquired.
No more turns of
phrase required.
I find myself pacing
around the room once again,
Certain there must be some way
to somehow re-begin.
My reasoning, though,
has come to grow
quite pale and thin,
I conclude,
now quite removed
from madding crowds and dins.
Let the first stone-thrower then
be without sin,
And let me pace and pace
and pace, then amend.
