"Idol Eyes" (Reprinted from March 22nd, 2012)

I have been looking through this warehouse I call an apartment for weeks, trying to find the following poem. "Idol Eyes" is certainly not the best thing I ever wrote, but I only did it as kind of a novelty piece anyway. It may make some tenuous kind of sense to you when you read it here, fellow babies, but if you read it aloud, I guarantee it won't make any sense at all to whomever hears it!

Which was the point.

Thanks for your time.

IDOL EYES

You idolize,

You idealize,

But whatcha gonna do when your idol lies?

Your idol lies

To your idle eyes,

So you'll never see the truth in his idol eyes.

You lionize

His lyin' eyes.

(But you'll never see the truth in his idol eyes.)

You idolize

But your idol lies,

And when his day is done? Well, he idle lies.

He idle lies,

Closin' idol eyes,

And when your day is done you idealize.
