The collusion of mediocrity,
A tease. A dance of non-
Challenge, seeking safe
Harbours at Honesty’s expense.
In relief at escape
From another day’s
Truth, in soothing
Saying of mock-praise,
A reward for Criticism avoided.
The collusion of mediocrity
Will please. Reward for
A neatness of nicety
To deflect the naming
Of knowing and telling it
Like it is.
A piercing look and the
True-said attack in the
Spirit of Progression.
Yet from you, no earthy
Confession. Just air.
