Of course I'm a teller
of mundane lies, such as: I'll try
never to lie to you . Such as:
the day after today the earth will
tilt on its axis towards the sun
again, the light will turn stronger
it will be spring and you'll
be happy.  Such as:
I can fly. I wish I could believe
It.  Instead I'm stuch
Here, in this wate of particulars,
Truths, facts. Teeth, gloves and socks
I don't trust love
Because its no shape or colour.

~Margaret Atwood
