Stephanie in Wonderland.

 

Luis Curruso,

Are you still waiting?

Cause I am.

 

And I have never been good at that,

Among many other things, you are sure.

And just as I was about to leave,

You are standing at the door.

 

Saying something about the truth

Of objects as Plato had informed you-

It is within the small lines

Between the fence panels.

Between your teeth,

Are the answers.

It is everywhere,

It is everywhere, you said.

 

But I look at the books from my childhood

Unable to count the number of lies,

Truth missing from everywhere

Like bees and frogs and butterflies.
