Anamorphism

And who would find fault with the perfect way she clearly hid herself in plain panavision view... Not a hair out of place. The small shield held up at just the right angle, to give her elbow room- just enough freedom in a safe space bubble of her own making... Her mental panoply fine tunes private placement. Her eyes pan the room... Peripheral view, not a rear view mirror, points to an exit. Touched, she moves forward, nudged towards creation. Art beckons come hither, immerse your mind in thought... What will she discover? Slow, curious search sees art's pointed viewpoint all too familiar. She looks in that mirror, worried about makeup on a stoic mask... She knows art is life's pane. To live life is an art. Aqua Marine. Posted: 02/12/2024. (Anamorphic Art: a distorted view of an image.) Hidden track. Long legged visitor Surveys the scene upsidedown Disappears at dawn.

I read your comment below. So true - superficiality. Most celebs have shrinks. The big public smiles mask terrible loneliness and emptiness. Interestingly, I commented on this very thing on a recent blog

Is it still there to read? The more self aware I become, the more I understand the changes Jehovah God would appreciate we make.... It's been a looooooong journey.... Thank you for being a "brother" to me. I feel safe with that... Helps me be less "avoidant-social phobia et al.... ((Hugs))

This is another poem focusing on self image.. it presents an exploration of self-preservation, personal boundaries, and the subtle tension between outward appearance and inner reality. The opening lines describe a woman who "clearly hid herself / in plain panavision view," suggesting that while she is physically visible to others, she has carefully crafted a sense of distance or protection. Perhaps implying that she is trying to control the way she is perceived, maintaining a perfect, almost filmic persona where "Not a hair out of place."

I loved going to the movies, from little - totally immersed in the fantasy of film. Only to find out in time, how fragile some sctors/actresses are in "Real Life.." Life does tend to imitate art, and vice versa. You're right about the carefully crafted sense of distance - for protection. It's like camouflage for coping with life. But it's more rewarding to be authentic, helps to get to know who really is a true friend, accepting one flaws and all... :)) Thank you for taking the time to visit and give meaningful comments.
