 EYES

Horses eyes, cows eyes,

elephants eyes, cats eyes,

alligator eyes, fish eyes,

we stare into them ….

They stare into us ….

We pause - we hesitate -

then we breathe easier,

because we know all eyes

are so different from

looking into the human eye.

We know there is nothing

to worry about inside animal

eyes - but so much behind

the human eye - what they know

know about us what we know

about another.  “Uh oh!”
