Analysis of Sun
Sitting in the grass,
Looking up above,
Absorbing light just like a plant,
By staring at the sun.
Ball of fire blazing,
Hands clasping to pray,
In awe and wonder, crying out,
Worshiping the day.
With Kaleidoscopic eyes,
Blinking to see wild designs,
A cinema of abstract things,
Of rings and spots, of dots and strings,
Colors that no one has seen.
Boiling now like two egg yolks.
Scrambled.
And your skin is toast.
Black and burnt your eyeballs fry.
Blind.
