Pretense

After walking by night several times, I now walk by day, but I am not aware of any crowning advantage in it. - Thoreau

night assaults day

then runs away

accusing dusk

dusk blames dawn

dawn is a pawn

a reason to stretch and yawn

in forty winks

night's alibi is gone

Author's Note

"If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal- that is your success." - Thoreau

this, my friend, is a most clever metaphor...I witnessed this, but I think I am too scared to testify!

lol. what with the riots and virus i can't say as i blame you for being scared. of course we each witness this with each spin of the globe but no one is ever subpoenaed to testify as to what they saw ... :)
