Venus Identifying Issues in House 12

If you love your secrets that much,
                        you can keep them you know?

I won’t pry them from your fingers laced tight together,
            won’t force my fingers into your mouth, pass your teeth,
            won’t hold your jaw open for the gold weighing on your tongue.

                                                                        

                                                                       You should know me well enough,
                                                                        I’m not interested in what
                                                                                                                        isn’t mine.

            If he must be in the picture,
                                    then I’ll leap out the frame.
                                    It’s hard for a runaway to commit a crime and bid
                                                                                    “goodbye.”

                                

                                                                            These days, we have learnt to say farewell
                                                                              in double ticks and no answer, no reply.

                     ·       The truth heard in omission.

                     ·       Non-decisions being decisions.

                     ·       Silence too, is an answer.

Wouldn’t you call this a wicked problem?

As Venus is a smoking a cigarette in her office,
                                    glancing over this case study held gingerly
                                    in her loose grip.

                                    

                                    Policy problems aren’t simple, dealing with a mass of people,
                                    eventual consequence, evaluation later needed.

                                                                                

                                                                                    Policy and people are almost the same,
                                                                                     both difficult and needy for attention.

Intractable problems that cannot be settled
            and will not go away.
