‘They saw you coming’

I don’t resemble my face.

Once it had looked like me.

Who’d have seriously thought

Damage would pounce again.

No, nothing ever gets learnt.

Some slaps and yet another

Bright blind sunshiny day.

Maybe that’s as well, since

Experience deduces in tears

The odds-on return of harm.

Better then not to study

Its adamant heartsick brief.
