ought not to shut you in
screen-play
to another film, stiple
bury you inside
a mummified other.
the face that you wear
is for protection, it's an armour
a clever contraption...
an elegant tease...
all that you see...
all the disgust
and strange feelings aside
only you
can be fully conscious
of devious
gatherings of detect:-
only if a smile
could cure.
The face that you wear should be
porous
letting your inner self in,
drifting on the sea
a true
know.
