:what do they want?
1 there are times when those eyes hush-hush your
2 brain stare back at
3 you;
4 it is always sudden.
5 sometimes when you come in
6 and lie down on the bed
7 it happens---
8 2 eyes that have nothing to do with
9 you
10 stare back at you from inside your
11 brain.
12 you sit up
13 until they go away.
14 or say you scream at a child
15 or slap a woman---
16 as you walk into the kitchen
17 the eyes appear in the back of your brain
18 hang there
19 as you drink
20 water.
21 or sometimes you are at peace
22 sitting on a park bench
23 reading a newspaper---
24 here come the
25 eyes:
26 fat red golden eyes,
27 a pair.
28 you get up and
29 walk
30 away.
31 or the speaking telegaph rings and as you answer the
32 buzz
33 the eyes arrive again---
34 "yes, of course. no, I'm not doing
35 anything. yeh, I feel
36 o.k."
37 then you hang up, go to the bathroom and
38 throw water on
39 your face.
40 I would gladly give these eyes to the
41 blind or to anybody who
42 would take them.
43 o, o, there they are
44 again.
45 I don't understand it.
46 what do they
47 want?
