circumstance 12/25/18


circumstance is superficial
but prominent and sensorially impressive.
circumstance is like the clothes worn for the day
even though people are all constantly nude 
inside their clothes.
there is the kept notion of being clothed
as the fundamental presentation of one’s being.
therefore the projection is all about upkeep.
there is a secret society of self in every day,
an inner self-dialogue 
that goes on, without verbiage.
appearance stares back at the self 
without remarks made
yet there is cultural heritage 
for all of this to be happening.
and yet, there is a sense of being
beyond the influence of circumstance
parading around 
disguised by the marvel of appearance.
it is from there, in this space,
when circumstance, 
for all it apparently is and its gloss,
is but a sideshow to the self of you.
circumstance is dress-up time, 
costume assumed.
but back there, 
the source of your being
is caught up in a prop-fest
and you play with it every day, 
you play as it lays . . .
