Beady eyes, a larger forehead.
This is why first impressions are often correct
He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake
A more hooked nose, wider, thinner lips
Although some people might have made mistakes
They had also molded their faces according to some ideal
They may have picked an ideal appearance
And that through the years
Or maybe they imagined that their personality would be forced to change
It might take ten years or so
He would see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books
Maybe they imagined that their new face would better suit their personality
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him
Gradually his face would change it's shape
Cause his face to approach those of his ideal
Based on some childish whim, or momentary impulse
To fit the new appearance
Some may have gotten half-way there, and then changed their minds

By keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his mind
The change would be very subtle

Or somewhere in the back of his mind
He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other people
That bears no relationship to them
