The Lie That Runs My Life

 
 
 
 
I am a loner
hermit
My happiest moment
is spent  
staring at a candle
flame
with the music  
background
chiming
 
I don't want
your wife
sister
or friend
 
I don't really need  
to impress
20 people
at a party
 
or have a following
at Sunday
lunch
 
but I do need
to hide my head
behind  
draped curtains
and  
incense
 
keeping my business
my own
 
 
-x-
