(yes this is how the poem was published, just a title and a blank page.   It was an ode to Alfred Bester's The Demolished Man)

A King of Hollow Truths

(Published 2000, Mosaic, an SCC Publication, Sanford, FL)

I am but a vessel for lies,
I have told so many that I am
Magical.

Illusion,
Shattered by a single
Thought.

Thinking about the past
I told my people of my
Greatness.

Wonderful
Lies.  I told them
Well...

An empty throne room from which I reigned
Friendless and
Alone

By myself I
Hoped for Companionship
For I am
