I will walk unmasked on this starship forevermore

Masked Lapwing Bird.jpeg

No more werewitches

No more painted shamans

No more part-time clowns


No more masks

towers

gallows


No more priestess payout

social justice tycoon

radical land misogynist


No more casual invocation 

No more theatrical shift

No more violent hedonism


No more scavengers waiting in line

masterminds attending

rainbows behind the bar


No more shot messengers

private allies

vulnerability whores


No more idle furies

silent jokers

heart emojis


No more excuse chorus

No more psyche circus

No more ego empire


No more policy

strategy

agenda


No more masks


I am 

And when you are,

Welcome


Let us walk unmasked on this starship forever more


No more unread books

No more unstrung flags

No more generous allowances


No more hiding crown

hiding claw

hiding path


No more normalising ignorance

No more normalising archetype

No more normalising addiction


No more ignoring suffering

ignoring warning

ignoring advice


No more busy

No more schedule

No more events


No more masks 


I am 

And when you are,

Welcome


Let us walk unmasked on this starship forever more


No more competitive domesticity

No more sorority betrayal

No more plastic flowers


No more threatening kindness

No more fraternal silencing

No more cheap rings


No more muscling in on a weakness of character bursary

unanswered questions of sexual misconduct

hiding your sociopathy in a cooking rota


No more fear of being non-consensually processed

fear of dangerous hospitality 

fear of missing out on decency and respect


No more insipid breakfasts

No more embarrassing yoga

No more participatory food art


No more closed circles

toxic communities

addiction pretending to be cure 


No more masks


I am 

And when you are

Welcome


Let us walk unmasked on this starship forever more
