A menu of distinct alternatives
Means of concealing the startling truth
Despite the many sweet superlatives
There is a void behind the mask, forsooth
Most will assume that, behind every role
There is an actor, solid and quite real
But just because there is a remote goal
That does not mean a seeker, full of zeal
Exists at all; some fleeting energy
Assumes a form and says and thinks and does
When all is said and thought and done, it’s free
Behind the mask, it could be, no one was
We assume that an essence lurks behind
Perhaps it is a figment of the mind
