Determined to continue my eye-defining
project I now apply eyeliner from another
pencil, been forever in my cupboard - &
with eyes watering notice it is lip-liner -
it's brown for heaven's sake, how was I
supposed to know; - with eyes burning
I jump into the tub to scrub it all off, to
enjoy a nice and relaxing time like the
captain in Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's
Guide To The Galaxy spoof, dictating
life from his tub, armed only with soap,
sponge & for company a yellow duck
Afterwards satisfied with my clean face
so like Orphan Annie & happy as a lark,
I shall test drive the smudgy gel eye-liner
pencil again tomorrow morning, it's a
challenge I'm willing to tackle & looking
forward to; but no more tonight - taking
Acquisition of eyes one step at a time…
