I've Seen Your Face Before MAG
July 1, 2009
Faces swirl
fuse
mold
into one
as El trains
whip past.
I’ve Seen Your Face Before
you aren’t that different
At All
Faces recycled
Her:
A Porcelain doll
careful not to
shatter
the glass
Him:
eyes like
coffee truffles
follow mine
down
the escalator
Us:
gawky
sweet smiley silences
cross our faces
spelling out the words
we dare not say to
the other
Cosmic forces made it
this way;
we aren’t the same
simply repeated patterns,
a strand of DNA
dripping with A’s
T’s
C’s
G’s
Cohesive:
our humanity –
a fresh scar
sole tear
lone kiss
but faces
become the same
as El trains
whip past
© Emily F., Cape Town, South Africa

Amazingly, this stads out from all the other suff her. Its a whirlwind of ideas that don't stop. This is what freestyle poetry is at a normal level. This is the kind of thing normal people should be writing. It has a vague rythym, and a theme. That's all it needs. Well done!
