Tell us something we don't know (unfinished) - Barbara Kruger

Eyes rolled like eggs
in the cutlery drawer
The coffee stains on the rug
began to bleed
That looks uncomfortable

I gathered the eyes in a pan
lit the gas
The pupils were pips
that had to be pulled
with tweezers
They hummed like silence
in a bowl

A bubble broke the surface
of the water
I covered my mouth with my hand
Pardon you
and giggled
I'll leave you to it

I danced with the fireguard
during the wait
but he became overexcitable
and had to be sent to the cupboard
under the stairs
to calm down

I smoked a cigarette
to cover the screaming
The challenge had made my hands shake
and the smoke was blue lace
in the air
