New Version

Instructions


Take this eyeball.

It is small and round and wet because

it came from my head.

Take it as far as you can.

Protect it from birds,

especially falcons. They are the worst.

Do not give it to bearded men in fallout shelters

or women who live on junks.

Do not leave it in a mountainous region where clouds grope the sky.

Do not place it on a throne made of toothpicks.

It hates all thrones.

When you have carried it far enough,

give it to the next person you see.

Or bury it in a pile of leaves.

Or smash it on a rock.
