I feel like im watching,
The shape of this man is shrouded under a silk curtain,
I can see where there should be a head, a crown, shoulders ,a face
I see where maybe his feet would stick out,
Where his finger might be roosting a jeweled ring.
Try and grasp at him,
Silk slipping-
Believe your eyes,
The second you grasped for him you see
There was not a man under there at all:
