man behind the mask
          
          
eyes dart 
quick like snappy sarcasm
in various directions while looking
up and down.. over there..under that..
taking it all in
trying to register all in focus
as information..not as experience.
     
he is a man behind a mask
there is a lining keeping reality away.
he lives behind this mask
telling himself lies to make
reality seem not so REAL..
truth has become blurred like
groggy moring vision, like looking
into the fog, like determining if 
Gweneth Paltrow is actually good looking or not..
one of those grey areas.. ya know?
          
the trouble with grey truths are
the longer they stay blurry..
the darker they seem to get..
