Have this in your hand
your smoky screened
vest of streams
wet with wonder land

Watching
interactions
it's funny
how people react in different

Obsession
over bright sky-blue eyes.

Just queer feeling that

Hard
Extremely hard
Faced with two decisions
probably both

If my eyes were open
I would see friendly faces
faces of friends
If my eyes were open

it can be sought for centuries,

You charlatan,
who whistles so sweetly when nobody’s there.
