all morning i have been researching phrases i know

but do not understand –

from passages in sacred texts to things my grammy said –

and then,

that sometimes it is hard to grasp,

and you need real life metaphor!

.

No treachery here, Virgil!

Beware of others interpreting your truth.

.

A snake in the grass may be food for thought –

or it may just be food.
