Masks are so often associated with fun; a carnival performer wears a mask, but so does the burglar, the salesman, teacher, etc....... Recognizing and understanding masks is essential for survival. This from Felos ainda serra
Everyone imagines him friendly
because his mask has that huge smile;
that wide, bright, unflinching smile.
He moves close into my face;
alone with this cardboard fiction
I feel him watching through his spy-holes.
I do not like masks, the smiling ones least;
he smells my unease;
I see that it is not a smile.
