Cardinal features represented
a mask is made recognizable
the smile goes with cheer
the flip side does with sorrow
from happiness to sorrow
and back again
so one waltzes between light and shadow
accompanied to changes of costume
to suit the plaster appendage
cardinal features recognizable
expressions reliable


there's an actor inside
that's where his face resides
from shear happiness to dismal sorrow
so many half-truths to swallow....

I used to be a Clown and hiding behind a mask gave such power

very much enjoyed this one

It's not the blindfold that blinds you,
it's the person that puts it there.
