distortion

someone told me you’re not supposed to look at yourself

in the mirror when you trip because you might get lost

…

my eyes are rolling back into my head whites

of my eyes like sunny side up eggs without

the yolks without the dark side of the cornea

see the Y double Xs under my eyes

my lower half of face laughing at itself

part lost between other parts eyes

rolled back demonic kind of thing looking out
