“Ist and Ism”

Telepathic schism
mind, body.

Human bodies morph, faces melt
labels emerge.

He is this, who is that, we is this–names are prisons.
Walls of self
contained ambitions, desires, drives.
You is this.
Believe in that, solutions found in foundation cracks.

Answers ephemeral trick these minds,
find buried treasure truth in cake mold names.

The bakery is open!

Sweat shops pump out, conforming identity dough.
Pliable medium of suffix kings,
flesh face lost, ideals reform–

Marrow raw philosophies of ist and ism,
winds of plague, crick crack
truths of self in wavering vision.
