Eyes pass me with a greeting
eyes hang still in the streets
and shopping lanes, eyes fly
around the earth
eyes are watching
around important bodies
alert eyes
that protect, willing
to restrict others
I defend myself
and ward them off
with the hand on my heart
an eye for an eye
beware, I look back
even when I'm not looking
