Facelessness,
Being one cinderblock in a great gray edifice
Is self-effacing and self-erasing
and safe.
Being a part shields the whole.
Being apart, taking off the one-mask-fits-all,
Means running your own race,
Being judged on your finish time,
Your form,
and displaying just the right differences.
There were no style points on the assembly line.
Homemade humanity is held to a higher standard.
