Ballistic Saccades

the eyes move as fast as they are able,

blink...finger in the navel!

depression at the center of the shell whorl,

life-giving nerve ending,

dopamine fasting. omphalos gazing. 

reconstruct your fetish, reconstruct your world, 

eyes dart around to make sense of it.

life is a blur but we don’t see it that way,

perceived visual continuity across ballistic jerks;

our brains remap stability across ballistic saccades,

reconstruct your fetish, reconstruct your world. 

our eyes move as fast as they are able,

blink... finger in the navel! 

a series of images, each a fraction of the scene

focuses on the fixation. put together from shuttering, 

bewildering multitudes of ballistic saccades 

follow the self-absorbed pursuit. contemplate one’s navel!

vexes, flexes, perplexes, sexless,

breathe in, breathe out; omphaloskepsis. 

the livestream in your head bears no resemblance to reality.

snapshots less than a qubit, a fleeting glimpse illusion.

the eyes move as fast as they are able,

blink... eye on the navel!
