The Waxing
There’s an order
All humans
To undergo
The process
Of waxing
And be featured
In a wax museum
Like the celebrities
New Fantasy Poem-Microstory by Jazalyn
Premise: All humans must get celebrity waxinated in order to never feel sadness & anger again, but a magic’s dreamer contemplates very deeply as to what to do.
I can do it too
But I’m not sure yet
What I will do
And when
As I observe everyone
Rushing to track
Their popularities
In a placebo recovery
An alleged purpose
In the subconscious minds
Is that it cures
The sadness and the anger
From making everyone taste
How it is to be admired
Which theoretically will free them
From the sense of inferiority
That blocks the expression
Of a peaceful self
And enhances nervousness
But I guess
This means
They could never be happy either
Since there will be
No other dream come true
So I’m reserved
And I suspect
That it might be
More advanced than that
Or anything at all
And I will try
To figure it out
For the time being
The prospect is challenging
And relieving
But I love my feelings
And my mood;
I don’t want to lose them;
And I know
It’s a double-edged sword
For I can have both beautifulness
And ugliness
But I’ll try to have
Only beauty
And I believe
I can make it on my own
Thanks to my inherent tendency
To do miracles
The waxing
Would chip
My rough surfaces;
Would catch
The polish in me
And would make me smooth
In a remote control
Of my life and death
But I fear
To become a statue;
Besides exposing my icon
Even in wax
Could be dangerous
For everyone would wonder:
Who I am
And then comes another question:
Who I really am
If it is
How they think it is
Rather than watching
My idle self
And cherish and flaunt
The masterpiece
Of my phenotype
I prefer to long
For an enchantress
To heal me
Instead of a rocky elixir
For this gives me
The pursuit of life
In magical emotions
I will wait
To see
If and how everyone will change
After this mass waxing
And I feel gifted
That I can psychologize everything
Who knows?
If I keep my heart intact
I might be invaluable
As out-of-date
For a long time now
I dream of
Having real worth
And be extraordinarily rare
Yet there might be a possibility
For the opposite result
If no one will be able
To get me
But I always find solutions
And I may get reinvented
