To Mask . . .

. . . or NOT to mask . . .


(from https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-vs-biden-coronavirus-mask-photo-may-be-2020-s-ncna1217646)
". . . Tara Setmayer . . . (said)  the mask really is symbolic of a man who is secure in his manhood, “not a petulant man-child driven by faux bravado and malignant narcissism.”. . . commentator Matt Lewis, made the observation that “one man creates the illusion of masculinity by projecting invulnerability. The other lives the virtues of manliness by protecting others.” Perhaps former Missouri senator and NBC/MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said it best: “Real men wear masks.”. . . "

Harbor . . .


Interregnum most inevitable,
From recurrently routine devoir,
Should always be envisaged.
Indulge yourself to stay attuned
With respite at the harbor, noon.

Compound . . .


. . . fracture


The compound was fractured
In a daring display of true bravado;
Surprising when it happened.
He had since become incommunicado.

It took so long to find him
In that god-forsaken wilderness.
The mountains reaching upward to the sky
And friends who claimed they'd help us
Only stumbling on their own duplicity.

He had us scared and running
For so many awful years;
His ruthlessness legend every place he'd been.
Nobody knew quite how to do that
Which all knew had to be done immediately.

Super . . .

Should every man yield to the yearning unashamed
Without hypocrisy and wastefulness;
Squander the strength he’s been endowed with;
Feign superiority as tunnel vision’s all he sees?

I’m trying to develop a superman;
Dionysus evolving into perfect humanity.

Gadding about helping each other get along
Won’t make us build the kind of man I see.
Inferiors are weak copies of betters
Printed on bad paper from old and worn-out plates now gone.

Selection, survivors mastering;
Bettering the species, irrespective of
Everything you’ve ever learned
About what’s right or wrong.

You hear the word, you’re quoting scripture that you learned
Originating from a deity.
But should that motivate your actions?
Such self-serving rewarding scheme.
Yours or mine, that’s what both seem.


Superman
