True (Fearing)

True, or exaggerated, or true;
As it is true that the people laugh and the sparrows fly;
As it is exaggerated that the people change, and the sea stays;
As it is that the people go;
As the lights go on and it is night and it is serious, and just
       the same;
As some one dies and it is serious, and the same;

Kenneth Fearing, from "Green Light"
