I first noticed your face when I was a small child
I didn’t pay much attention back then
Later of course I would see it constantly
All through school –
And during my working years
(especially during my working years)
No matter what was happening to me
Your face never changed expressions –
I couldn’t tell what you were thinking
Then, once I had become old
When I couldn’t even hear you anymore
I’d look up at you and I’d see it
and I knew
And of course you knew all along
Faces show age and
Sessions end
