thinking about blinking III
(pinning a number to pain)

does it hurt?
only every time i blink
from one to ten?
between four and five i think

you were doing what?
trying to put out an eye
how did that end for you?
with a face that will not dry

where was safety if not first?
off making an excuse
did you think they’d just grow back?
i can’t see what’s their use

what am i looking for?
what i can’t seem to get rid
can you be so sure
there is a lash beneath your lid?
