Mask

I am a babbling brook.

Blue ripples of tolerance part--

The mask surfaces...

Introspective Reflection

Who is it?

Is it me?

Yes, yes...

Introspective Reflection

Is that angry mask really me?

No, this is a rare sighting.

It sinks, retreats.

Will it surface again?

Introspective Reflection
