When you look into the mirror
You are not alone
Every year someone else is with you
Relatives you never knew
In ragged wool coats from the old world
Big dreams and lint in their pockets
Who am I? you will ask them one morning
In a moment of weakness
Do not expect an answer
Beyond the nose on your face.
