Honest Enough by Lynn White

You ask me how I am, how I feel, 

what I’ve been doing,

if it is me that I write about.

Is it honest what I’m saying.

Well, what is honest and how would I know.

There are many sides to honesty.

It’s impressionable.

My impressions, yours, someone else's

all joined up by me.

Redesigned in the selection process

to fit that moment only.

Is that honest enough?
