Two Masks

Two masks
One a princess
One a witch
Both ridiculous
And painted
And blind
My eyes
Would fill the empty spaces
And bring about
A total transformation
Artifice is the true realism
Deceit lives in the flesh
And will not show its face to any man
But give us a mask
And we will tell you the truth
I could not choose
So I will wear them both
The witch next to my skin
The princess next to yours
Which will you see first?
