A Stranger to You
...you May Think You Know Me
A mask of anonymity
covers my true face.
Maybe we passed in the grocery store,
in an elevator,
or on your pillow when you woke.

that you forgot
before you even looked away.
I am full of unexpected things
that you will never know.
I am not the mask I wear.
The smile is only painted on.
