visage vs. visceral

who do you think i am? a girl with dark smudges under her eyes and five babies asks another on the bus.
what about me? queries an old man with a pot belly and too many wrinkles.
another silently asks the same question, mute since birth, exploding with expression in her pink, round face.
i too wonder, who do you think i am? do piercings, clothes, hair-styles and manner of walk really depict my soul?
if not, who am i to determine who you are?
