Shocker: the deceivers continue

to up their game. Late afternoons

when our guards are down, 

and each looks largely the same

in official-looking insignia, stamped

URGENT or even IMMEDIATE

ACTION REQUIRED. To throw away

the whole of them would invite

some form of consequence—both foolish 

and impossible to give them all 

their due regard. Here is but another front 

of the long war, a slow, meticulous 

opening the only trick to discern

the real from the front.
