Dare I show some flesh
metaphorical or in the real
to demonstrate a common ground
between myself and readers’ minds?
if the answer is a yes
the outcome is preordained
as the words and lack of clothes
reveal the person beneath the mask
weakness put to the front
transformation now divulged
down to the skin and beyond
until disclosure becomes old
with a twist that’s laughable
or just ironic in pure hindsight
nothing new is ever shown
****** is shared by all.

The poem “Shared By All” is about the sharing of the artist. The irony is that their sharing only confirms the existence of others, with nothing truly new revealed.
