Owl Days #25

A post-truth world was supposed to make things
Easier, cut the humorless specialists
Out entirely, and let us imagine a better
Or at least more convenient world,
Instead of one less seawall against
The terror of never being right,
One more meaningless experience
To keep to your twitching self,
And more fallacious appeals
To the cloud of facts and supple
Suppositions where the terms are
Safely two dimensional, and different
Views turn without any pretense of
Foreplay instantly into violence.
