Oblivion Eyes

You blink

Once

Than once again

I can tell 

Not much goes on in you head

You move your fins

Back and forth

Never thinking 

About anything else


Do you miss the time

When you were large and fierce

Making all other species scarce

Do you miss your giant exterior

Devouring everything in sight 

Instead of munching on miniature flaky food

One bite at a time 


Or was your long, tall tail

Really just a tall tale

Were your keen taper teeth

A ploy to mislead 

Are you dwelling in the times

When you would hunt and pray 

Or do thoughts 

Truly,

Just slide off your head

 

The oblivion of your eye 

Stares back at me

Slowly you blink

Saying nether 

Yes nor no

Keeping me wondering

Pondering

As you slowly 

Open your eye

    Every time 

    I try to speak

    My voice is trapped

    Stuck between reality

    And imagination

    Between my mind 

    And my throat 

     

    Stuck in a loop

    Unable to reach beyond
