Tumbling through carved cat eyes and glass marbles
mind wandering
"signs point to yes!"
screams the eight ball
but no question was asked
two dozen eyes- at least
my own
stare at me from all sides

head... pounding

now your eyes fall on me
are you asking a question?
the eight ball answered for you
but what did you ask?

SNAFU boy's eyes... I follow their trail
he's obviously seen something
but wait- nothing there?
no... I see clearly now

eyes bleed over to adjacent wall

Real Men
REJECT passivity
ACCEPT responsibility
LEAD courageously
EXPECT the greater reward
God's reward

His eyes are on me now

I think they have been for a while now
I can see your smile again, under that Best Friend frame
this is what you wanted me to... to hear?
is that what the mind does...?

Hear God?

one, two, three- three sets of six small boxes on the side of a crate
piercing red eyes, African queen, you point to bed
to my Bible and to bed
time to hear
and talk
with God

Then sleep
