Everything is prop or backdrop on the stage for our play today.
Check our vaseline smiles in the mirror before calling for “lights” and the sodiums flicker to life and set the world aglow.
Pull on the masque, assume a pose. Adjust after checking the screen that mirrors the scene. Set, snap and print.
Pat each other of the back when nothing slips and we have captured a plastic essence pristine.
Then file it away as just another charade of former days, anxious to apprehend the next.
