Eyes


Who is walking out today?
I want to.....
Eyes plead with me. Live eyes. Living eyes, eyes with expression and liquid that when it catches the light just right makes them shimmer. 

I won't mark you truant.

Eyes shine! Living, alive eyes.
Serious???
      Serious.

Eyes in color travel to the shirt sitting next to shining eyes...it reads,
"you want it, come get it"

The AR-15 in white screen print.
Eyes, intent, look panicked. Have you been stopped by security?

No.....

Eyes open, ripple, shocked!
They haven't made you change??
     I won't either.

Eyes flick to and fro and watch the clock.
tick...tick...tick....

10 am. 
     Eyes look around and walk.
10:17 am
     Eyes return....thinking.

Eyes...doubting.
What do you REALLY think, Ms. B? 
Eyes can't lie, not to them.

Eyes know honesty, fairness, truth. They gleam and shine and trust!

Eyes, in the quiet of my office, cry.
