The liar’s punishment is, not in the least that he is not believed,
but that he cannot believe anyone else. – George Bernard Shaw
You are upsetting my stomach.
I have to write this.
I am The Liar Whisperer.
People prevaricate
and I can hear the truths
behind the fog.
Hurts my guts.
I feel the lie.
Just a warning to you.
Not a problem.
Turns out hearing the lies
as they fly by
like so many skyborn predators
is not a particularly super superpower.
Really, truthfully, truly,
in the bigger scheme of things,
we’re all just fuckin’ dust anyway.
