Nameless Faces And Faceless Names

The station guard who's been changing the timetable for 30 years

The donor I've been addressing mail to since she started sponsoring a child

The nun who's been cleaning the Catholic church hall since I was a skipper

The artists in the credits of all my favourite films

The waiter at the restaurant where I eat every birthday

The founders on placards of Victorian era buildings

The quiet neighbour whose kids are grown up now

The captains of the airplanes that landed me safely on solid ground

That deaf guy from school I never had the courage to get to know
