New Strategies for Invisibility

Invisible

Guarded, distant, aloof
– The Highlander. Tuck Everlasting. Immortal. Angels.

Translucent, transparent, gauze, gossimer, shimmery, whisper, questral, fleeting touches then it’s gone. Ghostly, spectral. A chill passing your skin. A walker in the woods out the back bedroom window.
– Little girl ghosts, Laura in Glass Menagerie, spring, air, vapor, mirage, hallucination

Hidden, secretive, stealthy, nocturnal, ellusive, cloaked, masked. Travel by night alone. Biting and clawing, killing for your desires. Breath withheld. Super heroes and secret ninjas, saving your life every day unseen.
– Dracula, panthers and big cats, bears and other wild animals. stalkers, murderers, batman,

Deviant, poor, untouchable, counter-culture, subversive
– street urchins on haight street

Silent, agreeable, pleasing, accommodating, humble, deferrent
– abused children, dominated children

Brazen, brash, overt, in-your-face, forward, get there first and you have a role to play it doesn’t have to be your own. Be the best and no one expects anything else – your backstory is already written – your beginnings must have been humble. Contrary, contradictory. The clown, the jokester – always the center of attention.
