A FOOT IN THE EYE

a trashcan stands in front of the window
something put in its mouth resembles an eye

I look at your eye
I look at your eye

a rollerblading gnat flies by
blind to this sight

I look at your mouth
I look at your mouth

a police car slows down near the place
where the taxi drivers always gathered

LEAVE THE PLACE, QUICK-QUICK! shouts a voice
the police car is equipped with a megaphone

we pay for that
megaphone, car, traffic cop--the trashcan too

your mouth is an eye
your mouth is an eye

a poem stands where explanations cannot go
with the eye of the mouth of the trashcan of our money

my fingers speak
my fingers speak

imagine a deity such as this:
it doesn't give, it doesn't take anything

it stands a hundred feet outside of the universe
outside of time and eternity

we never hear about it
it never hears about us

your eye is its mouth
you mouth is its eye

you fly by your life
a gnat blind to this sight

a foot in the eye
a foot in the eye

you shout LEAVE THE PLACE QUICK-QUICK
ok so where should I go?

in the trashcan something
resembles the foot of my fingers

the eye of Man
the mouth of eternity
