Someone I have always known
I can never know
greets me wearing Domino self-grown
mask over all his dough
& combs his hair for my sake (Hooray)
& dances with such an animated bliss
(both to prove he neither wears a toupee
nor has arthritis)
handling me as familiarly as if I were (for him)
something somewhat like his own personal gym...
I usually pretend I do not recognize him all at once
(pretending afterwards I'd known him at a glance)
