And I do a double take,
Because these faces are nothing more
Than equations:
A nose plus a mouth
Minus familiarity
Multiplied by 6 billion
Subtract a hundred or so
And there's humanity for you.
That's really all
It is.
An equation
That I can plug myself into
And all I get out
Is a single number,
And maybe an "x".
But I can never quite solve it,
Or anyone's, for that matter.
