Carnival

CARNIVAL

Masquerade
Passing parade
Behind the faces –
What?
Dizzied bright
Synthetic light
Synthetic everything!

Robotics
The mystery
What you see?
Now!
Straight forward
You hip!
You hip!
You left    right    left!

Words can kill
Silence is telling
Behind the faces-
What?
Which one?
Which one has murdered someone?
Which    unknown     has been reborn ‘neath a star?
Masquerade.
Hundreds on parade
Carnival!

Your poem reads like Stephen King's concept of a carnival, Daver. Awesome and very intriguing. Hope your surgery goes well. Please let me know when you can. Love and blessings on their way to you, Carolyn
