Appearances kept to disguise
the gaunt silhouette
inside, mindless words
uttered to subdue
million cacophonies of shrunken
brains, smiles and more smiles to
contain the pools of burgundy
pain, plastic tulips
silver cutleries and the glorious
dead shrimp lying in bed of frozen
sprouts while giving away
the performances
of life-time.
