Analysis of In sentence of pretense
Mark Cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)
In sentence of pretense
False accusations in conversation
Are guilty of verdict
Then again I judge alone
No one except me
Knows what it needs
And then I am
My own best friend
And worst enemy
In a sentence of pretense
I then again enter
The room full of views
With only myself to judge
In the reflection
Of views seen
Within mirrored images
Pictured of a frame
Leaving out the names
And calling it what it is
And then returning
The favor to friends
In an all consuming fire and end
