The Meat Suit
The meat suit is a trickster
much like the Wizard's show.
Few people, if any, know what's behind the curtain
or there's a curtain
a persona.
Few people
if any
truly know what it's like to be out there
beyond where the words can walk
what we are
what we wear
once the meat suit is ripped away.
Many a pope and poet have laid words
many a sham and shaman have told us what to expect.
I take a wait and see attitude.
But, I do know this:
The meat suit is a trickster.
