Eventuals

I see the way my words
             could be used –
       the possibilities
       the eventuals and
       the knotted
            snarled webs
                  that start to form.

It’s not as much about the strangers,
   but about
      those who
                wait for
                    the information
                    the ammunition
                              to use…
       those who barely even
                      think they know me
                          but
                             twist
                   everything I say
           completely           out of context
                             into
                             something
                             I never actually
                             said.

They are my words,
    but not –
         inaccurate
             and essentially
         untrue
             by that point.

I see the powerful lies
    based on a once-truth
           spread
           morph
                   reach their way
                            into reality
                        as if they belong there.

But they don’t.
