Dead Eyes

There were people on the street
Watching me with dead eyes
No I wanted to scream at them
You can’t be dead because what would
That make me
I know I’m alive, my eyes haven’t lost their glow
But as I passed a mirror-like glass door
I glanced away
Not wanting to know for sure

"You can’t be dead because what would
That make me."

Wonderful, poetic depth.


But as I passed a mirror-like glass door
I glanced away
Not wanting to know for sure."

The human condition... not wanting to know for sure. Deep, deep, deep. This is an awesome write. A little punctuation may be helpful, but with or without it, this is the best thing I've read today.

To force an algebraic term, this could have n-entendre, any number of meanings as to any number of subjects. Excellent, Sue!
Best regards,
