we hear what we want to hear

so when we hear a truth

we assume it's wrong

or that we thought of it first


(however near to one's vanity

the content must resonate)

but what served you well

has lost its power


the field has changed and ever will

your grace exhausted

your luck run out

you'll hear plenty then and it will be true


and your assumptions will stop

and your shame be as a last confession...
