What is this little black box?

Am I Ninoy? Why yes. As a matter of fact, I am.

Order for Masks

by Virginia R. Moreno

To this harlequinade

I wear black tights

and fool’s cap

Billiken, make me

three bright masks

For the three tasks in my life

Three faces to wear

One after the other

For the three men in my life.

When my Brother comes

Make me one opposite

If he is devil, a saint

With a staff to his fork

And for his horns, a crown.

I hope by contrast

To make nil

Our old resemblance to each other

And my twin will walk me out

Without a frown

Pretending I am another

When my Father comes

Make me one so like

His child once eating his white bread in trance

Philomela before she was raped.

I hope by likeness

To make him belive this is the same kind

The chaste face he made

And my blind Lear will walk me out

Without a word

Fearing to peer behind.

If my lover comes

Yes, when my Seducer comes

Make for me the face

That will in colors race

The carnival stars

And change in shape

Under his grasping hands.

Make it bloddy

When he needs it white

Make it wicked in the dark

Let him find no old mark

Make it stone to his suave touch.

This magicial will walk me out.

Newly loved,

Not knowing why my tantalizing face

Is stangely like the mangled parts of a face

He once wiped out.

Make me three masks.

________________Desiderata by Max Ehrmann______________

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
