i don't like it when people won't put their eyes away
not even hide them from me while gawking
your talk shames me
your eyes embarrass
but you put them in your pant's pocket
before you got undressed.

since then i'd have given my right arm
for you to have a limb by which nothing was meant
my wide eyes and long hair, what you call my charm
it was not controlled, rarely my intent...
to pull people from their senses...
i must have lost my mine,
not to worry, they've been found
strangely squirming under shoes

i watched you put them back on in the morning
look first up, then slowly down without warning
for that short time before, your brick wall turned glass
and i'm not sorry i saw you
or that i never asked
so glad for once your arms weren't cut off
couldn't have given mine
you'd grow far too soft.
Back.
