In the Torture Chamber

The first thing you see
is a masked man
wielding a long spear.

The next thing you see
is that weapon
pointed in your direction.

The next thing you see
is the sharp tip of that spear
penetrating your right eye.

The next thing you see
is the sharp tip of that spear
penetrating your left eye.

The next thing you see
is overwhelming darkness.
But is that really seeing?
Not the way I look at it.
