I’ve started seeing faces
in the most unlikely things.
At random times and places
these thoughts, upon their wings
demand my close inspection,
their weirding eyes aglow;
their dark’ning introspection
like pee holes in the snow.
Upon my popcorn ceiling
at first, I count the stars.
Their constellations reeling-
There’s Jupiter and Mars!
But soon, they’re coalescing
The stew is boiling down
The planets effervescing
It brings to me a frown
The overture delightful
Is closed, and then a curtain
Opens on a scene that’s frightful
Disturbingly uncertain
The faces form but once again
Their gazes schizophrenic
My Google search shows one refrain-
I must be Apophenic.
Stars in popcorn ceilings! Wonderful! A little scary and a little funny. Loved it.

You are pretty cryptic and I have a lovely time trying to figure out your obtusiosity.
