sometimes

sometimes what you see
isn't exactly, what you get.
sometimes in your head, you saw it like a dream,
but when you wake up it's all regret.
sometimes it isn't even close
to how you once envisioned it,
because your minds eye saw something,
simply quite magnificent,
when you get up close you notice
something that's the opposite.
smoke n mirrors
thats the trick,
make them dream
let their minds play silly tricks,
to think the things you want them to think,
but in the here and  now they see
maybe your shit do stink...
then you can pull back the curtain,
show it all,
stand back, enjoy,
while their mouths fall.
