It is often said that
Truth lies in wine
That the blood of one god
That the serum of another
Compels honesty
Honesty and truth are not the same
Honesty is a matter of belief
And truth
Is
Not
Even if none can access the whole of it
Seeing but never touching
Touching something too small for nerves to detect it
However heavily it may sit in the hand
Or on the shoulders
I am sober as I think such thoughts
As might be thought not to be
It would not be the first time such a thought has been thought
