Facade
September 5, 2019
a facade swen from silky lies
woven by the hands of culture
the silk itself being farmed unconciously
by men in every profession
by women in every household
but it feels so nice to wear
so smooth
smooth?
smooth
smoot

smotherin
smothering.
if you tell a lie big enough
frequently enough
it will be believed.
