Pinocchio's Pedestal
"Pinocchio's Pedestal"
it could not be true
as i stare into the deep blue
a pedestal raised above the calm
he could see farther than anyone
yet he could not move
this can not be true
he saw all that he could drink
the pedestal was actually a brink
the fall was not far
of this he was sure
but a mirror said so much more
he is no Jesus upon the water
he actually steps down much farther
but his neck seem as a giraffe
closer to the greener leaves
or so was thought, he believed
the lake was truth, his pedestal a lie
but he knew that he could fly
he made it all soar so high
did the water ascend unlike lies
or maybe quantum tears disguised
the pedestal's loss of height
coming to face the mirror is hard
water does not break, it ripples
it's undeniable, the truth is not pliable
and lies are duely laced with lead...
