A Note for Future Reference on Narrative

Dan Brown

States as fact

The existence of 

The Priory of Sion.

And in fact

He’s right.

A basic fact-check

Would indeed

Clear it

As a credible claim.

Of course,

Its existence 

Is part of a fraud.

Which in turn

Makes the fact-check itself

A fraud.

This is worth noting 

Not to discredit 

The work of Dan Brown

Or the value of his fiction

But as a matter

Of demonstration.

That is all.
