I’ll have you know

They’re plotting against us

Those little swirly bits

You can only see

When you half-shut

Your eyes on a sunny day

Locking up your daughters

Will do no good

Those elusive specks of evil

Are above sexual mores

They care only for destruction

Your eyelashes will collaborate

Come the hour of reckoning

Who knows if even your eyes

Can be trusted

They’ll run rings round us

One day

Those little swirly bits

You can only see

When you half-shut

Your eyes on a sunny day

Who knows they’re

Probably in charge now

For all we know

Wake up!

Open your eyes!

Do something about this!

NB.

You should also open them

Because when you shut them

They stare at you resting

And pull shit out of your brain.
