The wired

Behind the veil of the internet
I'm immutable beauty 
The wires 
Marionette strings
Arms and legs writhing 
Genuflect
For praise of Grace
A shallow scream brought to the surface
Traipsing across the cool 
Exterior
Of the keyboard 
Wires carrying the message 
Abating the savage within 
Transitorily
Attention and praise only last so long
Parades come to and end
Costumes get returned
Curtain call comes 
Eventually
I shudder 
I shiver
Naked before the world
Smeared mascara 
No wires to hold me

Writhing for you all
