What do you do When you tell a story? Do you tell the story, Or sell the story? Do you live the story, Or dream the story? Can the story make them laugh and cry? Can the story make a hundred bucks? Is every other sentence a lie? Can the truth exist as a fragmented glimpse Of uninterrupted humanity? What do you do When you smile? Do you smile the smile, Or feel the smile? Is it merely a reflex Of muscle and skin? Or a motion of the heart? I rarely smile because— honestly, I don’t know. What do you know When you know what you know? Or think that you know What you think, And you know That you know how to think, But not what to think… It escapes you when you’re alone Staring into your own soul. ------------------ William Haskins AKA The Mad Monk http://www.ionstorm.com/public/haskins/inner_sanctum.htm |
