Inside Gloria's Mind

Leaving You

with angst.

and without.

Revealing Masks

 

Hidden Things

From all I did and all I said
let no one try to find out who I was.
An obstacle was there distorting
the actions and the manner of my life.
An obstacle was often there
to stop me when I'd begin to speak.
From my most unnoticed actions,
my most veiled writing -
from these alone will I be understood.
But maybe it isn't worth so much concern,
so much effort to discover who I really am.
Later, in a more perfect society,
someone else made just like me
is certain to appear and act freely.

Reservations For Two

In Paris, city of lights, where one dances, one laughs, one sings!

 

 

And in Paris on the corner of 1st and C, where musical notes fly from the dancers' vaginas!

Perfection is an illusion.  Make time to play with your body.  It's the only one you've got.
