Pretender

I’ve
Heard
That
To
Gauge
If
A
Person
Lies,
First
You
Must
Notice
Their
Eyes.
Shifts
And
Glances
Indirect
Become
Suspect.
Then
The
Tone
Of
Their
Speech,
Flat,
Insincere,
And
Far
Out
Of
Reach.
And
The
Hands,
Oh,
The
Hands,
That
Beckon
And
Beseech,
But
It’s
Specious
And
Fake
In
The
Gestures
They
Make,
And
I can
Readily
See
This
Sly
Politician
Is
Lying
To
Me.
