Masks

poet Anonymous

Rorschach

You do not know, nor love the chalky crevices and dark knotholes of my cenotaphic soul,
coral polyp dissolved
beneath the drying bath of this polygamist sun-god;

a lone calcareous skeleton
propped in a corner and forgotten,
spidersilked against crickety planks too far indoors to suckle dew.

And what of the cockroach-egg infested envelope glue,
imbedded on the underbelly
of my tongue,

waiting to hatch while
sleeping soft on the needles of refugees?

It's in the eye of the poppy seed.
It's in the sightless bell jar full of melting stones.
It tarries, and holds me, overdue.

Are you one
of the frightened ones
who finds it hard
to keep your door ajar
to look alittle further
from the things
you think you are

Do you lose yourself
when you pretend          
that the mask
you wear
is your friend

My many Masks

i wear several masks
some that smile
some that look mad
it depends upon the mood or moment
would i like to comfort and connect
or make one scared stiff and frozen..

with children i wear Clay
hes lively and loving
full of color.
smooth to the touch.
kids who know him think hes funny.

with men i wear Maximus Arilius
for grown men are Gladiators
puffy chested.
agressive stance.
if they smell ur fear and think ur soft
u may not stand a chance.

with ladies. thats easy
please come meet Cassanova
hes bold
an arrogant fuck
talks in riddles
and always horny..

ill keep this short
could go on for days
soo many masks who act each and every way..

ooh yeah!
damn near slipped my mind
cant forget mr. Poody Tang..
hes charming
the best liked
who meets and greets with.. "SADATAY"

8^/ Pepperssss....
