I Gave My Eyes to Stevie Wonder |
Credit cards, sealed lifts and covert sanitation, processed meat and a national |
waste disposal system: |
The scale of deception begs the question what it is we’re burying. |
Cosmetics, contact lenses and plastic surgery: |
Bulk orders for yet more imperial finery. |
Double-glazing for phasing out suspicions that this is really happening. |
It seems this season the cool kids are sporting white canes and braille zines. |
And when i close my eyes am I invisible? |
An embarrassed smile and you assume that I’m being rhetorical. |
But if I don’t see it die, this animal is invincible. |
I won’t catch your eyes tonight, |
I will stutter my way through naked poverty until I’m across the street (safe). |
I justified giving my eyes to Stevie Wonder with some spiel about a sense of |
wonder to discover, |
But I was hiding under cover of the excuse of helplessness. |
I fell in line with the cool kids and spared my eyes instead of change. |
I just called to say that someone moved my furniture around, |
And so i fell down, |
And I hatched a plan here sprawled on the ground. |
So hey, what do you say, |
We pack our things and call it a day. |
Some come round, |
Let’s lose that frown, |
And you and I will leave this town behind. |
