THAT ONE FACE

 

Well, I didn't see that

one face today. You know

the one I mean-that one

face you're always looking

for without ever thinking

about it, sitting in a

cafe over coffee, walking

through a crowd, alone

in your room, that one face

you recognize instantly,

that face that resonates

through you back to the

beginning and on out across

the universe and back,

that face that tells you

you won't be lonely for

a while, that alpha-omega

face that tells you your

whole world's about to

end-but only to start

all over, new, again.
