Obscure half your face
with hands, animal, or random object
to add an air of mystery.

Don’t smile and
filter in black and white
to bolster your brooding nature.

Appear startled
looking up from your laptop
too deep in genious to notice a camera.

Stare longingly off to the side
as if a long-lost lover
is just out of frame.

Turn your back in defiance
forcing the observer
to conjure your countenance.

Refuse to be photographed
thus remaining an enigma
seen only through your stanzas.
