Rules About Eyes



The unsupervised rule spooling out like a foolish eyelash, crossing my eyes 

as I bend my lids to blink when I meant to stare, to take in every curve of artifice 

every Baroque glass candle and carved staircase

now I am out on the curb, its raw cement making its own curve

much more simple

and Proletariat.

I guess I like that.

It is so hard to stare at the grandiose

When I am truly in awe of something

it's almost like my eyes are closed.
