Man of a Thousand Faces |
The man of a thousand faces |
Sits down at the table |
Eats a small lump of sugar |
And smiles at the moon like he knows her |
He begins his quiet ascension |
Without anyone’s steady instruction |
To a place with no religion |
He’s found a path to her likeness |
His words are quiet like stains are |
On a tablecloth washed in a river |
Stains that are trying to cover |
For each other |
Or at least blend in with the pattern |
Good is better than perfect |
Scrub till your fingers are bleeding |
And I’m crying with insight |
I tell others to do without crying |
He used to go to his favorite bookstores |
And rip out his favorite pages |
And stuff 'em into his breast pockets |
The moon, to him, was a stranger |
And now he sits down at a table |
Without anyone’s steady instruction |
Begins his quiet ascension |
To a place with no religion |
He’s found a path to her likeness |
He eats a small lump of sugar |
Smiles at the moon like he knows her |
