There Is a Cliff
I have one thousand eyes
There are two on my head
Nine hundred ninety-five in my mind
Three of them are dead
Two see a screen
Ten see a light
Five see a glass
Moonshine or insight
I have two voices
One rests in my lungs
One covers my heart
Squeeze the ba-dum
One speaks so quiet
It is asked to speak up
One screams to the abyss
That it will never give up
I have six legs
Two lay so still
Two hold me up
Two aim to kill
Two legs find a ledge
Two eyes follow, stiff
One voice tells my conscious
"There is a cliff."
