Oh, my nails, it hurts, hurts my eyes,
	it rains from my foot, stuck between my eyes,
oh, I don't see you, please forgive me, that morning,
	it is rather cold out here in the evening,
		even when it's raining in the afternoon,
		after I cut my nails using my foot,
			you know that eyes, you know,
	you have to see them, those eyes, like rain,
		it falls from your foot, I see that evening,
	raining in the morning, I have to go, to somewhere
where it does not hurt my eyes to see my nails from my foot.

Experimental/Film Rework
, by

Man who lives on planes,
	Sees great light without lanes,
		For sky falls upon a filling,
			He who awakes asserts a willing.
			
And the senses are open,
	To see through a screen,
		To taste past a glean.
Such is window
	That separates us from the outer space,
		For it is blue, it becomes green.

Here I am, no longer hiding behind my eyes.
