How many sisters do you have
How many faces have I seen
How many of them have I met
Around the bend that doesn’t lean

I never look them in the eye
The silence goes on for too long
Say just enough, know when to smile
And either way it all goes wrong

I forget everyone’s name
That is, if I ever learn
Chimerically the same
Like me, I think they burn

I just barely recognise
I never know, I memorise
