The Eyes Have It

What if your eyes

were only held in by their lids

and you had to be very careful,

in the best of times,

squinting always,

just to keep them in

then, one day,

you accidentally said something stupid

and someone ran

away,

far away,

and you never saw them again

and you had to hold a towel

in front of your face

that kept things

from washing

out.
