Bald Essence of the True


Today he’ll say the thing outright,
do what he ought to do –
no nuance – everything in sight! –
bald essence of the true.

Nouns and verbs, unqualified –
broad and blatant jokes –
Not one ironical aside –
no subtle little pokes.

Lay his cards right on the table –
candid and upfront –
Swing the thing, as he is able –
obvious and blunt.

Why, then, this enormous gloom,
this unexpected dolor?
As if there’s no air in the room,
and all is drained of color?
