recognition

it’s a small enough town
that I’d seen her before
broken down, Broken down
I just need a little more.
So I wound up with
police everywhere;
a new face,
she’d never recognize
even the dancing
Can we stay like this forever?
No, I said, No
I’ve a face to change,
and you a world.
Will I recognize you
after the millennium have passed?
“No”, she said, “No”
she’d a world to change
and a new face for me.
Now I dance in the streets
to the rhythm of sirens.
