As
the con unfolded
revealing
one deception
and betrayal
after another
wholesale innocence
more prevalent
than expected
apparent victims
revealed
as perpetrators
a
great good heart
proved to be
the most far sighted
skilful conniver
of all
and
disturbed as I was
by the truth
I found myself
rooting for
an outcome
I couldn’t put
my finger one.
