Mister Mike Hulyk

I cast an eye of blue at you.

Not much to me,

because it's mine.

But it seems to make you smile,

until you notice that it turns.

I wish you saw

that I cast not a judgment - 

only a cynical eye.

The Drunk

will go

un-listened-to

Because

he does-

n't understand

That all the Undrunks just aren't ready

to understand

just yet.

I don't like

to sacrafice

my character

for audience.

Still, I do,

in hopes that just

a few of you

might get the joke.

I have a bad habit

of falling in love

with Beautiful Girls.

I asked a man I respected what I should do

about this habit,

and he laughed at me.

He said it's silly to fall in love with a girl

for the things she has or hasn't done,

especially if you weren't there to do them with her.

I asked him, then, what is a good reason to fall in love?

He said that a pretty face seemed about as good a reason as any.

An Artist is a child

masking

with one hand

his eyes from the world

and with the other

the world from the mirror.
