Face Value John Stezaker Image

We only see what we want to see
Reluctant to acknowledge what doesn't fit
The safety of face value
Not valuable or safe at all
Look beyond my face
And I'll look beyond yours
Facades prevent depth of exploration
There's a barrier, a false one
But the pieces fit, don't they?
I couldn't stand this close
And not see you...
Give me some credit
All stated before the head on collision
With the reality of knowing
I could fall right through the construct
No-one can be known 
Not even the knower
Least of all the knowee
All self exists only in the mind
And the mind is held
And accessed by an amateur
Interpreted by a fool
To dance a dance of willful deception 
By the willfully deceived
Somewhere amongst it all
Is a recipe for happiness
If you don't open your eyes too wide
Think a little less
And don't question the glitches
