Awkward Eyes for You

The wino took the corner like a 4 year old performs surgery.

 

His eyes roll into glue

and dry on her instantly.

She notices and

they rip away. Blurry

 

He swerves to avoid the railing.  Dizzy

 

Intoxicated, they forget it’s not polite to stare

but his possession is met with a smile

he panics, puts his eyes on the road

and smiles back

 

         while driving

 

                              off the mountain

How I feel playing eye contact tag with girls in class.
