Mask Poem

Counterfeit consequences of "comical" 'capades,
Brain's automatic switch to "courtesy," on my face,
Eye contact and generous nods
Belie the underlying thoughts
Within; I spin
For the shock of the feelings I feel
(Is apparent from my posture and 'stant scowls); "Evil"
Comes to mind
Lives in mine
Alone, unengaged, I am Me.
In the presence of company?
Veneer is injected into my lips and my throat.
"Carefree, careful, careless," in my eyes, are clearly show'.
