Today's word is "peacock" ... to make a vainglorious display; strut like a peacock; any peafowl. (Dictionary.com)
Deceive
His word is all ... To himself.
Like a peacock, he shows himself splendid.
His words smooth and steady.
Confidence and style are his mark ...
Everywhere he goes, people listen.
Unbelieving. Because there's
Something just a little bit too
Shiny, too slippery. Something
That rings ... Not quite true
To common ears. Which are,
Most times, finely tuned to lies.
