A Name

How slowly these faces dabble their slurs
Googling and gaggling what appear to be words
Spinning in circles they laugh as drones
A million bodies so close yet so alone

As a mirror decides what stays or what goes
A lesson to me is what should I show
Myself as a woman, a christian, a name
A brain on acid, education, cocaine

That rickety racket which sprang my brain
Devils emerge and solely remain
My heart has been pierced and they merely beguile
This I know is my first strong smile

Peer through me to know my face
But this is not the time or place
