Counterfeit Consequences
The voices always spew
the appropriate verbiage.
They encourage my participation
I make my tongue slow,
resistant and cautious.
I travel in their numbing rhizoids.
They shake my hand
with reptilian cold scales.
They grin with blinding white teeth
soaking in clotted blood
just below their gum line.
I am covertly calculating.
They instinctively
erase their enemies.
