Deleted Scenes
An Ekphrastic Sonnet
Beware the enthusiastic censor
Busy insulting your intelligence
Eager to usurp the role of mentor
Convinced that there's nothing beyond the fence
What joy is his, limiting your options!
How kind he is to shield you from the truth
He practices a form of deception
Insisting that real food will break your tooth
Reality is strange and disgusting
Festooned with beauty, seething with madness
The spoilers reveal what's worth discussing
You can handle all that you can caress
Seeing the truth too soon might change your mind
And liberate it to leave lies behind
