Maybe it's all parody
Life cosplaying as
life with a capital L
Thoughts
seriously thoughts
with a capital T
Stories
real and true
with a capital T
Identity
tight and solid
with a capital Ego
Survival
urgent and threatening
with a capital Alive or Dead
Love
stakes real and conditional
Body
soft, broken, strong,
with a capital Mortality
Useful fictions
all

and believe the drama
and believe that the seeing of the drama as drama is a seeing through the drama
when it too
is smoke and mirrors.
There is truly no problem to solve
