identity theft (Other) by skaskowski
my face just flew off of my head,
i guess that he was through
with lying for my eyes when
they refused to look at you.
so i've scribbled something crude
to be a makeshift substitute
with a sharpie that i found
inside a box of odds and ends.
now, i wonder where he's gone?
where do the faces go to hide
when they leave the sleeping owner
whom they once identified?
do they climb up through the air
until the earth is just a speck?
or do they bore deep down into the ground
where moles have yet to step?
and if i ever see my face again,
will he remember me?
will he recognize these wandering eyes
or just glide on right by?
i guess all this just goes to show
that you will never see
the twisted shapes made of my face
when you raced away from me.
