i had to walk a long way
miles
on a road near the beach
a woman asked me
what was wrong with my eye
i said a bug had sneaked in
i looked in the mirror
i was cross-eyed
and the iris looked like an exploded sun
i thought, maybe it will get better
if i keep walking
maybe my feet will get tougher
finally i arrived
everyone i knew was so drunk
another, larger eye had formed
in between the good one and
the deformity
but they paid no mind
