we all have closet minds
in the culture we keep
personal distance and internal dismay
provide for that
the inner dialogues
that never get sounded
the conclusion’s weight
is more than opinion
belief is brick heavy
with these unsaid remarks
visioning is through
shattered safety glass views
the fractures of unsaidness
give perspective a bad name
the hen house of respectability
is haunted with
bad egg syndrome undisclosed
mental compartmentalization
is a thriving art-form
a puzzling disguise that is edgy
but has no borders
leading to the eternal question
what kind of mind thought that to be,
in essence totally and unabashedly true?
we are all hurting
with the details of that
done in our absence,
so to speak
such is the work of closeted minds
cloistered together
making this rhetoric
their stand-up routines
and we naively call that
the pronouncement
of what govern meant . . .
