Roshi Bob: Serial Haiku #1

He Said

The truth never hurts.
but sometimes it does, depends
upon what you’ve done.

You can’t be obtuse
or intentionally dumb
without causing stain.

And, it may be said,
also, “without causing pain.”
that’s the whole story!”

Anything resting
upon lies will surely crack,
at least in old tales

It’s a matter of
chaos being the goal. So
choose: chaos or fact?
