Hieroglyphs

I met some people I thought I saw through within minutes, then was proven completely wrong. I met some people it took me years to get to know, then realised I didn’t know them at all. I met some people who changed me and others whom I changed. In some people’s eyes I changed likewise. Thinking back I don’t know that I really knew any of them, or they me. Sometimes I think I change from day to day, other times I think I’ve been the same from day one. Some days everyone I meet seems like the cats on my street, those little people who wear their gazes like masks, or the absence of masks, and who can be read only by each other, though they often seem confused by each other.
