Just the inside stays alive

and the things around

when we've finished our masks.

Some immobile

Some mobile

some retains the ability

to give what's

substantial to life.

Some travel on the back of our past

some operate our old helpful self

Some's only for wearing hats

or shoe or gloves,

some's in control of our junk.

Some can only provide

some can only hug

some can be only blindly loved.
