Challenge
Who are you, REALLY?
Tell us who you really are under all the bells and whistles
*
under all
the horse bells
cat calls and
bell boy
whistles
I'm a sham
a showman
like every
yes ma'am
I am
a rope
beneath
the cultural
yoke
something
like a public
joke in private
cloaked
a bunch of cells
beneath the
skin
whose locks
were picked
until the pick
is broke
along with
the string
that fells
in final stroke
...the hand
will no doubt
draw back
another line
beneath
in due time
*
I'm still
changing
my figurative
mind
