Self Protect By Discovering Truth: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku
Someone I was very close to said they needed to “protect” themselves by isolating. I wrote this after realizing sometimes we “cave” to protect ourselves, when what we really need to do is talk things through, so we can discover what is the truth, instead of just imagining what we THINK is going on.

it is best to discover/
what is really true.

To smell prejudice,
don’t search deep in Southern swamps.
Mother’s emails reek.
