MIMES MIMICS AND BUFFOONS

 

ATTEMPTS AT CAMOUFLAGE

persons

use shape

shine, shadow

sound 

and 

space

to conceal

or 

to reveal

but 

pheromones do not lie

and

the eyes that blaze

or

dull

each moment

cannot disguise

changes

of body and heart

crypsism as a learned trait

falls short

hormones do not conceal

reverted eyes

need shades

and shadows

to hide

thoughts and emotions

hands and feet

warm or cold

in tests of 

truth

and even

multiple choice ones 

which can be reduced

to true and false

with lights and reflections

and mirrors

in lives and homes of

those who detest

or repudiate 

their own images

on and off the stage
