Seen and Not Seen
Talking Heads
He would see faces in movies, on T.V.,in magazines, and in books
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him
And That through the years
By keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his Mind
Or somewhere in the back of his mind
That he might, by force of will
Cause his face to approach those of his ideal
The Change would be very subtle
It might take ten years or so
Gradually his face would change it's shape
A more hooked nose
Wider, thinner lips. Beady eyes. A larger forehead
He imagined that this was an ability he shared
With most other People
They had also molded their faces according to some
Ideal
Maybe they imagined that their new face would better
Suit their personality
Or maybe they imagined that their Personality would be
Forced to change to fit the new appearance
This is why first impressions are often correct
Although some people might have made mistakes
They may have
