Masks can describe many things – a poem

As I put on the mask of food I saw,

the grease on a gooey pizza,

the snap of an overcooked chip

and the seeds on a fresh burger bun.

 

As I put on the mask of time I saw,

the enormous  big ben’s hands ticking like a timer on a bomb,

a slug moving slowly like a car with three wheels

and the joyful day slowly turning into a miserable night.

 

As I put the mask of  liquid I saw,

the fizz of a opened can of soda,

the tap water rushing down like a waterfall

and a ship sinking into an ocean.

 

As I put on the mask of  suspicion I saw

sneaky raccoons searching for food,

a cave darker than a bats fur

and a pair of bright yellow cat’s eyes.

 

As I put on the mask of fire I saw,

The fireplace crackling like fireworks,

a fire cracker sprinkling like a sprinkler

and pieces of old magazines being burned in a garden.
