 The man of a thousand faces 
Sits down at the table 
Eats a small lump of sugar 
And smiles at the moon like he knows her 
And begins his quiet ascension 
Without anyone's sturdy instruction 
To a place of no religion 
Has found a path to our alikeness 
His words are quiet like stains are 
On a table cloth washed in a river 
Stains that are trying to cover, for each other 
Or at least blend in with the pattern 
Good is better than perfect 
Scrub til your fingers are bleeding 
And I'm crying for things that I tell others to do without crying 
He used to go to his favorite bookstores 
And rip out his favorite pages 
And stuff them into his breast pocket 
And the moon to him was a stranger 
Now he sits down at the table 
Right next to the window 
And begins his quiet ascension 
Without anyone's sturdy instruction 
To a place of no religion 
Has found a path to our alikeness 
And eats a small lump of sugar 
And smiles at the moon like he knows her
