Mid-level Dementia

I brush my teeth 15 times 
Because I find my brush clean everytime 

I watch myself for a thousand seconds 
In the mirror 
So that I don't forget my face 

Weirdly I forget 
How time passes 
Late for everything 
Without breakfast 

I watch myself for a thousand seconds 
In the mirror 
So that I don't forget my face 

I tie my shoes and untie again 
Only to find my hands sweating 
From all the tying 

I watch myself for a thousand seconds 
In the mirror 
So that I don't forget my face 

Some scenes repeat in my brain 
And some I forget 
Never seem to remember 
Them again 

The memories of silhouettes 
Dancing in the shrine 
laughter 
devotion 
Incense 

I watch myself for a thousand seconds 
In the mirror 
So that I don't forget my face 

I come back home 
From all the working 
Tired and weary 
Thirsty and hungry 
I wash my hands 
A thousand time 
Only to find them wet

I watch myself for a thousand seconds 
In the mirror 
So that I don't forget my face 

Mirror can't you make me smart ? 
Mirror can't you help me out ? 

I stare at the mirror
For a thousand seconds 
So that I don't forget my face
