Daf is dreaming

Posted by littleditty on August 20, 2008 - 15:41
from the ABC set Meral and Dafny

Daf had been sitting there staring into space,
could have been hours, could have been days
meditating in the wicker chair, when she turns
to look at me and blinks; could have been an idea,
could have been wind, I’m really not sure, so I ask her
if she’s been wondering what life would be like with long eyelashes –
and she raises her eyes to the sky – like I should have known
she’s been wondering about the hypnotic eyes
of a peacock and a hen; the hen wondering
what life would be like with long eyelashes.

Fancy seeing you around here...

I reckon life with long eyelashes would be awful. You wouldn't be able to see anything. Do you think peacocks have eyelash barbers? They must do.

hallo gorgeous -curly eyelashes long or otherwise aren't as much a problem as straight ones short or otherwise - trust me, i know what i'm talking about...peacocks don't have eyelash barbers -that's just silly :) they hypnotise the ladies by shaking their tail feathers tho - what a dastardly trick... xx
