There once was a wild-eyed firewalker whose show turned out to be a shocker. His feet were unharmed, but clothes not as charmed. they burst aflame & he became a firesquawker.

Masquerade [Lyric Poem]
Welcome to the masquerade!
It is your home from now on.
The you you were will soon fade
as you play out the long con.
Welcome to the masquerade!
Where all faces are untrue.
We are just the roles we've played,
not the selves we never knew.
Welcome to the masquerade!
Do you know just who I am?
I'm only what I've conveyed.
It's the "real me" that's a sham!

Ripples [Haiku]

the day seems still & windless,

Not Waving; Not Drowning [Haiku]

Li Bai fills his cup; Li Bai loves his wine; Li Bai sits in moonlight, staring at the sky.
