A Poem a Day (310): Your close-up

 
Your close-up
 
Are you ready for your close-up?
I asked if you are ready to be told
what to see, hear, to feel, to be,
to try not to be, if it isn’t the norm?
 
Welcome to the storm of glass figments,
waves of imagined blue unfolding;
the cares and fears you dreamed of
yesterday, when we were other people.
 
You entertain ghosts of your waking,
reflections of yourself while you sleep,
forgetting you were ever so afraid
of being you.
