is that you?   a crust settles over my eyes;   i see so unclearly.   been wading in these depths of ignorance.      slowly. you’ve been trying to show me.      peel off the coating- protects you no more.   take off your mask boy- show me the core.      hang up the phone.   i’m not talking to you or you   this is so much deeper…      i’ve seen a thousand faces    and i’ve been a thousand places   still i don’t know you. the closest one.      the sweetest one. sweet on my bitter tongue.
