Today I Shall Have Three Faces

today i shall have three faces
on one neck
like a peculiar mask in a play
that you have never seen

two faces wear the eyes of tragedy
while the last one shall wear
the smile of the century

you only know that last one
since it has been facing you all day

the two others
i keep as my dual realities.
