Truth on a Bobsled
Gnawing at the news online
having been misled
by a most trusted source
who promised in email
not a binding agreement
nevertheless
by a date
late this week or early next
we would have it done
was he too misinformed by his most trusted source?
believing in
what he hoped to believe
as we did
now I pay scant attention to the news for I see
truth careening downhill on a bobsled falling apart
from false enthusiasm with no corroboration
to splatter as just an alternative fact but a true one
forensics will say combing through the debris
where truth fell afoul of infamy
the bobsled proving imaginary
the truth lying dead
