eyes for an I

the montage that is your life, exists only in your mind

the details that make you

the memories that break you


in reality it doesn't matter

no one cares who you really are


realism knew best

but knowing isn't changing

and change is only really worth it when magnified

everyday we trade our eyes for an I


if I can't face it

then how can you?


(Inspired by Honoré Daumier: Third class carriage)
