Looked Twice

Those eyes looked twice.
It was an awful mistake.
Mind of thoughtlessness.

Captured by imagination.
Filled with nostalgic awe.
Greedy for youthful love.

Selfishness beyond repair.
Accelerated by mortality.
Consequence ambivilence.


Those eyes looked twice.
Should've gone on then.
Gone over to the highway.

Took the eastern fast lane.
Settle in with jazz music.
Coltrane or Miles or both.

Free the mind of emptiness.
Isolate natural intelligence.
Understand it specifically.


Those eyes looked twice.
Of all the ways to use time.
Outlandish possibilities.

The stupidity of our will.
No rationale or beneficiary.
Only illusions and delusions.

Don't blame times or culture.
Behaviors are responsible.
The eyes that looked twice.
