flawless illusion
reality intervenes
eroded facade
behind the bright mask
uncovered with a flourish
truth cloaked alibis

one fine victory
a fallacious feast for eyes
gives what isn’t seen
The word “facade” is another I ploddingly mispronounced for many years. Until I was 16 or so I thought it was /fu•kāde/. I’ll tackle “docile” next.
Peace, people!
