white lie

I checked
yes it is true
i told a lie.

i thought it was small
yet
it was not exactly
nothing either

a lie
that betrayed someone
perhaps someone i do not know
when it seeped through the cosmos
of connections that exist
throughtout the strings
of intermingled life

This morning, while driving to work, i bypassed some traffic by going on the wrong lane for some distance and entering it again further down the road.
