Victor Perrotti Reads

two faces

two faces facing east and west
two faces looking front to back
two faces coming and going
knowing where you’ve been
knowing where you’re going
unsure of where you are
one head, facing opposite directions
two faces competing for a mind
two faces with eyes that never meet
two faces denying existence of the other
concealed behind countenance
hidden from the present moment
one face hiding behind the other
one head, of tragedy and comedy
two faces facing north and south
two faces looking up and down
two faces coming and going
knowing a tether to the ground
knowing an infinity in space
unsure of where you place
birth to grave, with no middle
two faces to go the distance
two faces is all you get
two faces and just one neck
