Pixellated Face Value.

Thomas Ship - AKA Sean Thomas, author of Uncongraphia, The White Mountain Range.

Face value online

It can be anyone as this Internet is a faceless entity with a billion false faces

Where, one facade is two

In the multiplicity of increasing duality

Who is who, what is what

Oh, hang on, I forgot -

That's not really you

In this diabolical masquerade

At the cyber fancy dress ball

Feigned disguises in false charades

Recherche fakes of mirage reflections

Frontage pretence deceit

Superimposed, counterfeit masks

It's a pantomime in the fibre optic stream

Caricatures at light speed

Internet face value,

Huh, what's it worth?

Zilch, nada, absolutely nothing

Where first impressions are deviant

Act one, act two, and off to bow

Grand finale of the online chimera
