You know how Face Book works, right?

The video was over five years ago

and it just

on my friend,

Bruce Smith’s timeline

and he shared it

a     c     c     o     r     d     i     n     g      l     y

and I’m egoistical enough

to think that it was just

F   O   R         M   E.        .        .

This video was shot as a part of the

FACES     OF     HOSPICE

way

before

but he communicated more to me

in a single post from

f i v e      y e a r s     a g o

what I know,

what I bet I know,

what I bet my life I know.     .     .

but rarely

until  a  mirror was thrown up in front of me

and I saw someone

I hadn’t recognized.     .     .
