my face, my face, my face!

At last, I found my face 


It was found lying in the middle of a grand lake dubbed the Scheme of Repetition


On the edge of no man’s land I realized that everything that happened already happened


And it would keep happening the same way


I screamed in joy

This absurd plot and its grandness


So I got in my seat and trailed back to the present that always was


My friend, 

On the edge of no man’s land I at last looked up

Saw people, myself in their eyes


I tied my moccasins and leaped into you, 

Under my grimace i was humoured, crying in ecstasy, in awe of your story

The one you told me wordless


My ONE, looking within your faces I fell in LOVE 

And i lost myself, my nose and my EYES

And that is EXACTLY how I found my face 


Wordless your eyes opened up to me that effervescent repetition: 

Already happened, it all already happened,

The same way, keeps happening the same way


I cried in ecstasy,

This absurd plot and its grandness 


Looking within your eyes i lost my face, 

And that is exactly how I found my face 


My face, my face, my face!
