“None The Wiser by Stewart Stafford A blowtorch in my darkness, Flaming my head with "truth"; Regurgitated received "wisdom", Deviated septums only permitted. Envenomed cobra's indoctrination, Inundated with a fellow brainwashee, Love's verbiage fell side-mouthed; Shaved synapses of smoothed minds. Prematurely convention's captives, Identities wiped and rebooted for propagandist lobotomy, Induced comas—murky déjà vu. Age's heft drags down daily, Her "love" archived as interred lie, Slack-jawed deceit now perceptible, Disillusioned departure companion. © 2026, Stewart Stafford.

None The Wiser by Stewart Stafford
A blowtorch in my darkness,
Flaming my head with "truth";
Regurgitated received "wisdom",
Deviated septums only permitted.
Envenomed cobra's indoctrination,
Inundated with a fellow brainwashee,
Love's verbiage fell side-mouthed;
Shaved synapses of smoothed minds.
Prematurely convention's captives,
Identities wiped and rebooted
for propagandist lobotomy,
Induced comas—murky déjà vu.
Age's heft drags down daily,
Her "love" archived as interred lie,
Slack-jawed deceit now perceptible,
Disillusioned departure companion.
