lyrics

surprise
he lost his eyes
they popped out the sockets of his skull
rolled away from his feet
like little glass marbles thrown by the hand of a child
on the sun-cracked street
sometimes
he'd flail his bruised limbs
groping wildly for something solid in the dark
lose his balance in his dizzy panic
tripping on his own shoe laces winding through park
sometimes
he got so wound up he'd spin into the sky like a jet plane
spinning through the rain
burning brighter than m80s
watching daisies swirl down the drain
sometimes
she'd pick those eyes up
as gingerly as if she was picking cherries from a tree
polish 'em down with the hem of her skirt or the edge of her shirt and gently close them in his hand
and she'd say, "i think you may have lost these eyes.
you might need to use them sometime."
