Carnival

 Masks

Purposely not idenifiable

I wear a mask

like the face of a clock

tick tock, tick tock

The extra layer

another surface

of expression

cosmetic and covering

is the facade.

My countenance in camouflage

a disquise in veneer

an aspect

a coating

a shroud

The subterfuge

and imposture

the pose

of deception

lacking in character

Hide, conceal, and veil

in the dark brown cloak

the pretense of disquise

without face, obscure in the guise of overlay

Screen the faceless without idenity

Tic Tock - Tic Tock
