I Know This Much Is True<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am surrounded by lies and liars.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My social security number has not, in fact, been frozen,<\/p>\n
and I cannot lose weight by giving up bananas.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The president will not help me buy a home.<\/p>\n
The government responsible is exactly who you think it is,<\/p>\n
and not the one on the news.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Don’t be tiresome! And don’t be greedy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I can’t get sculpted abs or better orgasms<\/p>\n
by the end of this week. There are no aliens here.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And if he doesn’t love me today, then this trick<\/p>\n
will not bring him ’round to it. Believe me,<\/p>\n
I tried.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We are not amused.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My soul is not at risk, nor my job or savings.<\/p>\n
There is no \u201cAgenda.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have heard the Good News, and honestly,<\/p>\n
I have heard better. This God of theirs<\/p>\n
holds too many bizzare opinions about my behavior.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Keep it to yourself, if you please.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have seen enough, heard enough,<\/p>\n
I know this much is true:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the arc of the crows’ flight as they wing toward their roost<\/p>\n
calling to each other as the sun sets: \u201ccome home, come home\u201d<\/p>\n
is the geometry of Diogenes’s lantern.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is no such honesty in Man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
