Poems

I've been reading too much Bukowski again
He says:
"The trouble with a mask is that it never changes."
And I think of you.
I think of your mask
And how it hasn't changed
And how it never will
According to Bukowski.
I wonder if you are real.
Really, actually, truly real.
I wonder if you are just a mask.
I wonder if you are hollow.
The most addictive things
Are the poisons we create ourselves.
You, then, must be man-made.
You are shoddily me-made.
Every sweet word and sensation
Was created in my fantasy.
I projected complex emotions
Onto your lifeless mask.
You will never change.
You will never change.
You will
never
change.
You are just a mask
And Bukowski is warning me from his grave.
