Anonymity seeks to obscure
what’s made plain in the words
only showing by intent
the many layers of content
safety is the first domain
with excursions to the edge
peeking out from shadow’s realm
with permission to state the mind
even while the masks prevent
perception granted to the perceived
the changing visions of the id
knowing only moment’s blend
the ignorance of the world
is fertile ground for inner quests
proving that obscurity
allows artistic types to truly be.

The poem “Anonymity Seeks” was inspired by a Tumblr user who used the profile description, “I feels safe behind my anonymity. As long as they don’t know who I am, I can be whoever I want to be.”
