Obvious

This used to be the title
but it has become less true:
Everything you have heard
about me is absolutely true.

How could you think otherwise,
when you personally have seen
the stained glass tomb
of my reckless conscience.

(My secret is one of pain-
staking obviousness,
like the moon disguised
as a smooth, curved star.)

(My secret is one of love-
dreams faltering in
spite of boundless faith
in our mint condition.)
