LIFE HAS THE QUALITIES OF AN ENVELOPE
THE HARDNESS ON THE
OUTSIDE CONTAINING
LAYERS OF CHIFFON
A GLOSSY GOSSAMER OF FACTS AND LIES
OF SURPRISES AND DISLOYALTY
AND FAKE SMILES
WHOSE PAID CURIOSITY
OF MY LIFE
STEALING MY SPIRIT TO SAY
ITS THEIRS
TRYING TO HANDCUFF MY IDEAS
AND FAKE DEPRESSION
TO CREATE SYMPATHY
FOR THEIR NASTY UNKIND MOUTH
AND THWARTED AMBITIONS.
