Who are you again? How am I to know

Who are you again? How am I to know
If you're my sister or brother? Which sign
Should I believe? Which mysterious witness
Harbors the long-forgotten evidence?

How am I supposed to know if it's you?
Perhaps you are my father? Or my son?
What is it that these antecedents refer
To essentially? And who are you again?

I don't believe I know you, but these eyes
Are known to play games and to persuade
Me into accepting facts like opinions.

But am I to trust my own understanding
Or to follow the person beyond the names,
Who has dared to make my paths straight?
