Pretty Lie
They say a picture's worth a thousand words.
If so, then why do poets write?
Do techno shots on paper, movie and computer screens
Lack what science and art imply they mean?
Is this magic show a seduction without end
To hide some lies on which we now depend?
Does the Poet's eye of spirit-mind
Refute the eye of science-gadget mind?
Does this condensation of our speech
Reveal some truth that science cannot reach?
Will the Poet rise up to defy
The rampage-mind's illusion, that Pictures don't lie. ?
Will the spirit eye go blind
Living with this techno-eye, so prettily unkind?
