Hiding in plain sight
By Lucas Thors
Blue fabric
A missing expression
Breathing stale
Thank circumstance
A safeguard wrapped in cellophane
Easy anonymity
Hard to connect
In a faceless fever dream
Where everyone seems alien
Elastics stretch
Past smiles and scowls
While some hope to hide
Their visage already veiled
