Today I Saw the Eyes of the Crowd | Joan McNerney

So many eyes… almond eyes, china
cup eyes. Eyes half closed,
crooked eyes, eyes big shining silver
dollars, snake eyes. Eyes laughing,
marble eyes, bedroom eyes, eyes
a-boggle. Eyes chocolate brown,
green apple eyes, eyes smoke blue.
Eyes on the ground, staring straight
ahead eyes, eyes pinned on the sky.
I saw the eyes of the crowd
today for only a moment.
Then I don’t know why,
I had to shut my eyes.
