By Jean Pierre Nikuze.
Bumbling behind masks,
the world’s on the wrong side
of a beekeeper’s suit.
Provisional signatures of eyes
for God knows how long.
Each blink a flag
by which we hail & respond.
Call it a promotion.
For lack of competition
from the facial household,
they’ve become that
we always ascribed to them.
Also, chimneys, doors, balconies…
