Likely it's likely we're not where you'd want to be. I peer thru curled hand, so it's you I see. Always look people straight in the eye. Haven't you ever wondered why? Aren't the eyes the windows of the soul? Isn't seeing that the most lofty goal? While for you, you see only one part of me. Eyes of all peoples are basic and same. Skin's the part that gets the blame. Likely it's likely you'll not care. When you've looked in before, nothing's there. We see what we want to see. And that's the way it'll always be. Rhyme 27 Lines 98 Words October 2022 Pen illustration G.Gaul

Yes, I drew it as well. A bit of a surreal poetic experience. Thanks for your kind and thoughtful visit.

That hand looks kinda surreal Greg, I’m guessing it’s the readers left hand, and you’re looking out through it, am I seeing what I want to see, or are you playing tricks on my eyes, this one goes a little deeper methinks, cheers David
