         Think on makeup and poise ... it makes the observer cautious
         because of its unspoken intention to control his perceptions.

         But it whips the wearer more deeply
         with that very same fear she sought to escape just then.

         For just when she's accepted, ...just then she cannot become real
         because of all the change might reveal.

            Take this cup of love away
            I no longer think I'm able
            to partake of the feast of life
            while seated at love's table

               Slow charades of the past
               we walk thru
               looking on the forms we've turned
               the surfaces of our lives

            These weeks and months
            wait on the seasons of our heart to turn
            tender touches and looks of loss
            the actors turning to dust

                                 gallagher
                                 26 feb 75

                  How harsh their games
                    they play with idenity
                       trust and stress
                          like some play chess.

                  And how easily I'm caught
                    and begin to examine
                       my moves and defenses
                          and guard my thoughts.

                                    gallagher
                                    mar 75
