Hypocrisy
it is not just
a painting
of two men
sitting across a table
one, red faced and spitting venom,
and casually pouring tea,
the other, stoic,
but hands banging on the table,
almost shaking the cup of tea
being poured by the other
no
it is not just a painting
it is the embodiment
of spiders
weaving webs of paint
across different timelines
and saying
"uh, this is okay"
