Super Glue Doesn’t Work

Things aren’t as simple as they seem,

Are they?

Human nature is slippery,

And your face, when I see it,

Slides away,

Pushes free of the confines of memory

Runs rampant,

Confusing

Surreptitiously it flees

And I seek new understanding

Because your humanity is too much

To stay on the tip of my tongue

–

Even those you know best

Are a mystery
