To try not to be, or to be? <br />is the question this poet is asked <br />by agreeing a poet's a liar. <br /> <br />Being means persuasion, <br />means tricks; <br /> <br />trying not to lie <br />requires removal, <br />trick by trick, <br />of persuasions, <br />and awareness of new tricks arising, <br />new forms of rhetoric. <br /> <br />It's not easy being me <br />trying not to be.<br /><br />douglas scotney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trying-not-to-be/
