I Don’t Believe Him

He’s a pavlovian preacher
by rote and repetition,
a phrase and a posture
trigger a conditioned response.

He pauses to regain his composure,
to choke back a tear
but I don’t believe him.

His alliterated three point presentation
is just the maze this rat has been trained to run.
