Poetry
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. - James 1:23-24
You said you forget names but not faces
Proving your own most forgotten
Mirrors only enhancing your amnesia
For you always mistook simple for easy
Those who knew the difference
Draped your sacrilege in silence
Easy is the blood in predictability’s veins
Always at high tide under inertia’s moon
Simple is awareness stumbled upon in weariness
Of whoring after million mile short cuts
You saw liberty and mistook her for license
Her decorum complete, she took no offense
Knowing the price you would pay
To mine an anthracite heart
Forgetting faces is the price
Of not really knowing names
Mistaken identities are mirages
Shimmering in egotistical deserts
Names embraced are faces recognized
When simple becomes eyesight
