In the oneiric methodlessness of my nightmare, I am looking slightly up at a man who wears my face. His shoulders are raised in tension or the middle of a shrug and he is smiling guiltily, as if to say, _It's not what it looks like_, or maybe, _Can't blame me for trying_. I don't know him; if I were to guess who he is or what he wants, I would probably be wrong. But I can blame him, and I do.
