When you meet someone what’s the first thing you notice?

Their hair, clothes, shoes, color?

We unconsciously judge people with no motive

 

When you read there is little to calculate

What you see is all you get

 Just a series a words and punctuation to facilitate

 

Even when you read the author’s name

No matter how real it sounds

It’s just a name

 

Nom de Plume; Pen Name

Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, Dr. Seuss, etc.

Names are anonymous they have no judgment to claim

 

Because of this you can read

Predisposition free

The words you see are all you need

 

When I write…

When this is read…

I feel more exposed then if I were in the center of a thousand lights.

 

Leaving only text I resign

I write to be anonymous

Concealed and laid bare at the same time
