Steps to rebuild a face that you can't picture in your mind

1) Panic and realize that you can't remember
2) Try and get nowhere for a bit
3) Think about other faces of people, ones that you're able to remember
4) Give up and go with it for a bit, knowing it will come back
5) Give up on giving up
6) Start with the teeth
The rest of it comes really, really easily
Because yeah, you drew the smile
But that was a smile without teeth
And the teeth form the smile, the teeth give the smile life and a frame, what you need to remember
7) Hairline, eyes, eyelids, set of jaw and shape of nose and idealized colour of eyes
Pants and purse and phone case
These are not a face, but now you remember them all
8) Hi, face
