It’s You

You indeed:

the masking

you wear 

is the you

that you 

believe

yourself 

to be;

that which

is traced

in relief

is as if

a surfacing

of this belief;

your caper 

taking shape 

in mastered

covert arts,

holstering

daggers of

defensive

smarts;

I see you best

beneath your

wide brim 

...crossing the

gas lit street...

and know you

better within

by the breadth

of your elaborate

silhouette;

the smallest

mask you now

chose to don 

says more 

about yourself

than you might 

otherwise care

to let on;

talk to me 

without

this masking 

tape and I may

very well lose

insight into the you

you’ve circumscribed

with cryptic clues

to help yourself

and the world

navigate through

these complex

inner workings

of your

unmasked

You
