Should I Recognize You

I have seen you 

walking up and down 

that street that 

has become yours.

Did you lose your

expression from walking 

countless miles on 

that road

or did you begin 

walking after the 

expression had already left.

It is just that I

have seen you in 

so many towns,

with so many bad suits, 

with so many blank 

expressions. I was wondering 

should I recognize you.
