OJOS
too many women over the years
have told me how pretty my eyes are.
“oh, how pretty your eyes are,”
they would say.
then they would proceed to scoop them
out of my eye sockets
and play with them.
“oh,” they would say,
“they are so blue and round.”

Good, concise poem w/an unexpected twist, I dig it.
