fidelity

as every actor knows
one may memorize
by rote the writ
& speak it
with perfect fidelity
to the text
as scribbled on the page
but if you would bring
unto the stage fresh life
you must imbue
the words with you
and so it is
when giving out a lie
until you believe it
neither will I
so let go the false
and tell me true
else with flat fallacies
you will all
my goodwill undo
