Eyes Down, I Clash Averted
Listen to poem:
Eyes down, I do the test.
Eyes down, it's you I detest.
Avert your vicious stare,
your blazing eyes, frying me.
I won't look up, until you look away.
I can see what your eyes are doing
peripherally,
in the corner of my eyes,
while I blaze away at your belly button.
I feign deep thought
by looking down to the left.
I feign deep feelings
by looking down to the right.
Once your eye-stare stalking
fails to get attention.
I will lift my sights
and up my eyes, to eye to eye level.
Then it's my turn
to searchlight stare
at your eyes, blazing not blinking.
Daring you to look back, to up your eyes to mine.
The Ante is Upped
You Bastard!
