Ground Level Entry

the eye sees everything
it cannot see
your identity
the eye is scared of all your dreams
it fears your individuality
The eye wants you to be
only what it can be
the eye is blind

thunder pummelled drums
against a backdrop of
bruised eggshell dijon yellow
sweating heavy sage green
spitting spoilt the swollen pride of purple,

Snake On the Brain RevisionToday John McDain
