ONE WITCH . . . WHICH?
Joseph Lisowski

Tricks of the tongue
Are never treats—
Lies of omission
Or direct

Invisible spheres of words
Orbit even
The most random
Thoughts

Like the Plague
Not knowing
Whether you caught it
Or not.

    MM welcomes Joseph Lisowski, with this very clever piece about the mind’s interaction with words, us all being “under the net” of language.

    In this Dickensian- Dickinsonian poem as Charles Dickens novel motivations by evil doers and Emily Dickinson’s heterodox religion, others view as hearsay or heresy,language can randomly take on a life of its own. Poets, always a minority of a minority by the majority
    view with suspicion,the poets usually ironically, have the last word.
