There's A Difference Poem by Richard Jarboe

There's a difference between the educated or opinionated,
There's a difference between fashionably dressed or clean,
A difference between decoration or the plain truth of now,
A difference between spirit or tongue of the Holy Cow.

A difference between show biz and what's really going on,
Like the difference between no-biz or plucky dance and song,
There's a difference between a mirage or real deal ghost,
Based on cosmetics coming from the cosmos.

There's a difference between a deodorant,
And what's thought to be a proper disguise,
And as usual, there's no hope for Oedipus,
No matter how hard he tries.
