Era

The mask falls off
and it cracks on the table,
exposing themselves
naked and shameless.

But why would they need it?
It never fit well anyway.
The tears of the guilty
quench the thirst of the few

This is a traumatic time
in a chaotic era.

And everyone you know
can't look away
from the men on the screen,
you can't look away
from the boot licked clean.
