It’s the time of the year …

… when we look …

… at things passed …

… and things to come, …

… when strange heralds …

… drive the news, …

… and some of us …

… wonder …

… what this noise …

… is all about.

Ask the crowd …

… or ask the expert, …

… behind every disguise …

… there is a human being …

… and eventually  …

… all masks have to come off.
