Second Set

Beneath mine eyes
     a second set
That peers incessantly
     seeing what I see.

Its gaze unmatching
     No blinks refresh.
A thought ahead, a look,
     Turns only feigned focus.

To break this gaze
     a secret held
Who then is able?
     Not me. Not these eyes.

  2. i guess it could fit in w/ that one. this one was unrelated when written. i think i was annoyed that i second guess first impulses and emotional reactions so often, like i was personifying that disparity as two sets of eyes on an individual's face, one that sees first, and the second that sees and holds everything against the first.
