Echo

Look at this place,
look hard enough and it’s a face
full featured, staring back
to ask you why you look here

Feel out the space,
trace features with a finger
take a moment to linger
over it’s contours

Shout to hear its echo,
if you’re dumb enough to
recognize you in the waves
answering back

do not attack,
the anger that you feel
is misplaced
Stop a while to judge
your little actions
make them bigger

Don’t snigger at the back
of your 20,000 days
sniggering is a phase 
you must pass through
if you want to find the point of you

Which when all is done
is just the sum
of what you’ve given out

So make it good, 
and for fucksake
don't live for your echo
