PEEPING TOM’s MASTERPIECE<br />
by<br />
NATE BURLEY<br />
The world is wide and the wind is wild<br />
and I’ll live forever.<br />
So be wary, dear<br />
because I’ll be watching you.<br />
Long after you flip this page for<br />
others more agreeable and have<br />
long forgotten my name and these words<br />
I’ll be very much watching<br />
like a painting with peephole eyes<br />
I am peering off the page<br />
while you’re so alone, convinced<br />
nothing but inanimate ink<br />
though I am seeping in your eyes lids<br />
and coursing through you like a laughing gas.<br />
Do be deceived in private,<br />
believe I’ve been so simply closed and yet<br />
I’m here crouched in your mind<br />
and cloaked swimmingly in your soul –<br />
perusing your most intimate memories<br />
and disturbing fantasies –
