Rigged Prank

guided from one grand cathedral
pall bearers with wheel barrows
appear to move as if by frame

candy tinted days behind us
secular knowledge secreted
unsharable from such slumber

grip fixed on our humiliates
now fodder for misinterpretation
or one final chuckle all around

Thank you I have been studying the art of deception

I turned to poem for a summary of what I found so far,that people are definable/classifiable by how easily they admit they where duped.Every trivial/psuedo thing we carry out of this life could hold us back some how.But upon leaving it would be nice to leave a punchline that others will uncover after you departed. In ink, Dabbler

Thanks Jess

I have witness the frame by frame effect.Questioning things as they unfold in still motion. It is how I detect fraud some times images over lap.There is a potential for fun interventions using the same "vision". In ink, Dabbler
