Face Ditty

For common folks, I put on a common face
          And I am happy,charming and full of grace.
          The intelligentsia I meet with deep-browed grin
          And we discuss, intelligently,the dilemma we 're in.

          I have so many faces that I do not know
     In which my "real,"my "true" face starts to show.
                 And if through revelation divine
                 Something of myself I find,
                 I am content and glad to grow
                 But,oh how I've yet to go
             And,oh how much I've yet to know!
