The taste of tension, like water, plain but there Invisible, but felt A faint undercurrent, a barely detectable wave Physically, fine, well most of us But mentally, a little shaky Slightly off Not easily detectable Our lips graced by bald faced sugary sweet smiles Don't look at the mouth, look at the eyes Where the truth screams out at you If, you can detect it His antics, a little over the top Her quirks, just slightly more enhanced But even then, You can't truly know what's going on behind the curtain Unless you forcefully lift But That could possibly damage it Completely

A Message to the Spectator
