Coming Out by Covering Up
I wore a dunce cap into class years ago when the reading
assignment was Hawthorne’s “The Minister’s Black Veil.”
and no one mentioned it, brought it up: Huh? What’s with
the dunce cap Sam? You trying to prove something?.”
Not a peep. Me sitting in front of them the whole period
with a cone on my head trying to get discussion about the
Minister’s Black Veil.
Covering Up in order to Come Out.
Apologetic: Apocalyptic
When the veil comes
off
Or when you see it go on
Revelation
C
Let “c” stand for cave, closet, culture, custom, convention,
convenience, context (box, bubble, behind bars)

If I sat here behind bars would you Get IT? Put a veil over
my face or wore monumental dark sunglasses & .dunce cap
on my head…would you Get IT? The Joke?
HA! a ha. Ahhh. I get it.
A small apocalypse
unveiling
uncovering of what was covered.
by covering IT up…. get it?
Apology: words for opening (apo) An apology: literally the words
that accompany an exposure, disclosure, revelation just like Mythos
say the Words that accompany Ritual, an action of accommodation.
My classes are a JOKE.
I apologize.
Get it or Not: who loves a
punch line if it’s got to be
explained?
nevermind.
