I'm not sure how long I've been sitting here.
I'm not sure what else has happened.
The color of the sky has changed.
I'm still staring into something big.
I think that it's your eyes.

I can't put my finger on it,
Something about your rectangular pupils,
Something about a magic flute I hear.

Suddenly a crash of breaking glass
Breaks the spell,
But I can't tell
Even how I feel.
I'm spinning
As my heart cries, "Pan!"

My feet carry me outside
As if on autopilot,
And my own eyes swallow the sun
Like a half starved Maenad
Eating cherry pie.
