There is a wide gap
Between
Fragrances
And
Flowers;
Between
Smell
And
Smelling;
Words
And
Their intended
Meanings;
Gestures,
And
Their
Real
Intentions;
Faces/Masks
And
Human
Hearts;
Signs circulating
In market economy
And their
Significance;
Artificiality around
And universal
Public Relations;
Promises
And their
Actual
Effective
Delivery.
(For the cynics:
There is no gap
Between your mum’s
Smile,
Concerns,
And her
Lifelong
Actions.)
