Mask

Every morning
They put on their mask
And walk around as though 
We can’t see the cracks

They view the world
Through the eyes of the mask
They smell the air,
Convolute comments,
And speak twisted words
Through their mask

At what point does it no longer
Rest on their nightstand?
When do the cracks
Grow real flesh?
When does the light
Stop seeping in?

And at what point do I
Quit being surprised?
