You try too hard
To make your minds appear as though in stasis.
I sense your looks disclose your thoughts
And that your words and minds
Are two opposing places.

And sometimes fool me into thinking

When I see these different looks
Of indecision splitting senses
I suspect some hidden thought of me
Considered sacred, and I ask myself
Which should I decipher first –
The lying words or lying faces?
