The Best Poem Of Mallory Smart

The Truth In Knowing

The nameless lives in nostalgia.
The faceless breathes anticipation.
Regimes deaden the soul.
And they don't know whom to blame anymore.
Youth bear vestiges like ink-swill upon roving cloth.
They could run screaming,
And we would never hear.
If that's the truth in knowing,
Then what is the lie in seeing?
