The Masked Man:
​
I approach a man,
His face is covered,
And he bears a grin,
His eyes are sharp and hollow,
He sees completely through me,
I gesture with my hand,
He returns his gesture,
On my opposite side,
I grin,
He follows,
I hold my hands to my heart,
He tips his hat,
I wave him away,
But still he stays,
I ask of him,
What's beneath the mask?
His grin disappears,
But his mask stays on,
He gestures with his hand,
My eyes follow,
Next to the table I find a mask,
My heart understands,
what my mind does not follow,
I put on the mask,
Wave him goodbye,
Turn away from the mirror,
I carry on my way
