Domino Effect

Starts with but a single-hinged myopic

            Flight of fantasy

Falling fast on ears too eager to

            Exact veracity.

Bursting, bouncing, echoing beyond the bounds

Where once begun

Its legend grew on wings that flew

            To spread beyond the setting sun.

Then one to cover, one

            To deny,

And one to set the record straight.

One to give a reason why.

            Far too little,

            Much too late.

Til hiding becomes commonplace

And walls of Jell-O shift and bend

In vague translucence seeking light

To find the rub

            To put to end.

And so they crash, these dominoes

Unburdened any weight of proof.

No hindrance or abatement

Tilting, falling, seeking,

            Finding truth.
