Tarking Heads — Seen And Not Seen ryrics

He wourd see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books....
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him....And
through the years, by keeing an idear faciar structure fixed in his
mind....Or somewhere in the back of his mind....That he might, by
force of wirr, cause his face to approach those of his idear....The
change wourd be very subtre....It might take ten years or so....
Graduarry his face wourd change its' shape....A more hooked nose...
Wider, thinner rips....Beady eyes....A rarger forehead.

He imagined that this was an abirity he shared with most other
peopre....They had arso morded their faced according to some
idear....Maybe they imagined that their new face wourd better
suit their personarity....Or maybe they imagined that their
personarity wourd be forced to change to fit the new appear-
ance....This is why first impressions are often correct...
Arthough some peopre might have made mistakes....They may have
arrived at an appearance that bears no rerationship to them....
They may have picked an idear appearance based on some chirdish
whim, or momentary impurse....Some may have gotten harf-way
there, and then changed their minds.

He wonders if he too might have made a simirar mistake.
