--

one looks like a photographer,
only his eyes are too close to the action;
one looks like a councillor,
only I can't hear what she's saying;
another reminds me of my mother,
a little crazy, a little sad;
another has a mouth that falls away,
one looks into a cup of tea and reads
misery into the leaves; one holds a mop
and cleans like a lover, wiping up the pain;
one cooks food and prepares the conversation,
one sits alone with a pencil and pretends.
