Sunglasses

A pair of sunglasses
works like a mask
behind the sunglasses there is a story
a human being story, sometimes, the extreme proportions
flamboyant, and fearless, intrepid and invasive
but truthful to himself, or herself
the actor puts the sunglasses on, and there is a transformation
a manifesto of who he is
but you, the audience, keep wonder about the eyes behind the glasses,
the hands that shake other hands, male and female
the voice that got things to say in a provocative way,
but also very welcoming, like you know the man with the sunglasses
the woman with the sunglasses
the writer, the playwright looks a the pair of sunglasses
and sees a full history of vandalism, love, lies, dance, sex, more love, bodies, dead bodies, dead loves, smiles
the actor simply puts them on, and becomes all the above, and more
what a pair of sunglasses can do
it gives the permission to become
just with a pair of sunglasses.
