Amazing

Aching to feel if I’m amazing
With flowered eyes that want
To come out from behind the mask
My psyche is cooking up a
Breakfast of reminders not to
Forget about the work and
Art performance of existence
What mask will you put on today
To present to the world that you are
Somehow amazing and different
Sequins and bunny ears strapped on
My face opalescent roses hooked at
The top of a cross diamond vest
Off-white terry cloth pants with
Mexicain pom pom garland or a
Suit and tie one with a panther
Catches my eye is that a tattoo
Of a kiss on my face or just makeup?
Or did someone actually
Leave that there for me to find later?
Maybe we wear them all together
I’m in a hurry I’ve got wheels
On my shoes but somehow the
Sound reminds me of slick bottomed
Chukkas or oxfords sliding down the
Multi-angled hallway with the momentum
A pair of superior woven dress socks
Might give you if you are rushing
To meet everyone in the building
And get back to the appointment
That you’re late for but also dancing along the way
Feeling like you’ll arrive just in time
To make everyone happy, they’re waiting!
Sophisticated and savvy
Satisfying them all dressed to the nines
But who are we when we are
Doing it all and which mask
Will I put on today?
Aching to feel if I’m amazing
