the heartlessness of unrestricted inquiry

I have an idea every time it occurs
to me
Why do some people mistake an opinion
for a face?
Is there any excuse not to go into
our personal history,
and fix what isn't there?
Or are we just cowards. Are we all such
just cowards, full
of clever explanations
to excuse and justify
the impossible? Why

does no one ask

"Who will pretend our lives
?" Or "Have your memories
improved over time?"

It would be obvious,
if only we'd get serious
and descend to a heart course
of self-examination and

whatever that yields.
