Poetry on the run

Mythological Glue

The yarns we spin, the stories we create,
what we know filtered through what we believe.
The gossip, pronouncements, rhetoric and myths,
the endless circular talk about linear things,
the tall tales like voices in our heads -
mythological glue for the world we have made,
for all our fine and fictive ways of thought, belief and feeling,
for crafting the Truths that we unpack.
