Easy

If only a glimpse
Arms shift
Swift, these things of no account
No less, a jest
The faces set
Against a sideshow backdrop
Stop, a baffled blue cries
Bends us, these artists that shape us
Sketches, and sculptures
We the demented clowns, and performers
And in a day, each we will be
Like yesterday, gone
What form, previously
If only a glance
That which may offer more
Than a momentary view
Of the things behind the door
And slowly stepping through
Thin, skin, and broken bones
No substance in its purest form
No death of a question
When an answer is born
Can change just how I saw you
On the day that I learned how to see
