glimpses

It was disappointing to discover the titles
on the bookshelves in the bedroom,
so different from those proudly
on display downstairs. I don’t
always want to know
about the hats
that people
choose
for themselves
when they’re alone
or performing for people
who’d dislike those downstairs books.
There’s no need for carefully constructed
illusions to be spoiled without good cause.
