I’m lost in my own eyes,
a grayish blue haze.
Lost in translation,
surrendering to the circumstance of traffic,
bustling beeps and rusty signs

My eyes pulled me down deeper.
Looking glass, frighten me whiter

I can’t see the pupils
in my blue orbs.
Where have I gone?
When did I succumb to this?

This is starting to feel
all too surreal.

Pressing my thumb
to the muddy water,
I think I’ll soon be waking up.
