Curtains/Handles
Curtains are courtesans, made to reveal:
internet handles don’t really conceal.
In anonymity timid find space
for bold expressions too true, face-to-face.
Mask of the nudist, poison-pen raised;
names for the nameless, tough, flamewar-braised–
if any knew, they despair, all would jeer;
hidden, they wail from backstage draped in fear.
