    Another great commentary and haiku. I expect they don’t know it’s a mask at all - they’ve all been wearing these for so long. I can’t talk - I’ve probably got about ten! (Depends on the day of the week.) Hoping to be enlightened soon.😄

    Damn, another short and sweet piece that like Dharr said, packed a real punch. I mean, just 9 words. Damn. Well done. It is of course, so very true too.

  • Whoaaaa, that was so deep and is the ultimate truth! You packed a punch here in your Haiku!
