Asterisks

October 24, 2021

there are always asterisks,

I suppose,

referencing some knowledge

some source

to be considered​​ but​​ left unmentioned

in the main

some​​ being​​ quite clear

​​ others requiring

more extensive footnotes

parts and pieces

left unsaid​​ and​​ ​​ unknown

to the listener​​ 

but not the speaker

desiring a more pleasant exchange​​ 

an image left untarnished, unblemished

the origins and sources

left​​ clouded​​ in obscurity

the roots​​ of the present

left​​ untouched
