My Nose
My nose still sticks out
between my eyes,
but I can only see it
from one side at a time.
If I stuck it out farther,
relaxed my point of view,
perhaps I might see it
leading my same old face
back towards you.
But first I would need
to tell myself some lies,
avoiding all close shaves
that spite my face,
Then follow in it's wake
to where you are.
