1459

[René Magritte’s famous painting, Son of Man.courtesy dVerse Poets Pub]
An apple a day 
To stave off the medics
Just place it in front your face
Leave it there the entire day
When night enters the arena
Remove the mask
The apple that was used
To hide behind
Now face the moon and stars

    An apple a day is supposed to stave off those pesky medics! Some will only take their mask off in the dark.

    A commonly used realisation that a daily habit religiously followed will bring good dividends, which is a good thing! I fully support such a contention Gillena!

    Maybe that's why the night feels like freedom, because one can shed their mask and look at the moon.

    I especially like the literal way you interpreted the painting with " Just place it in front your face
    Leave it there the entire day".
