Eyes Open

My part in all this?
I guess I won't know 'til
It's over. Guess I
Won't know even then,
Unless there's something after:
Say they make us watch
A video-screen, can our
Laughter, hold our eyes
Open with matchsticks, force-feed
Us, chapter after
Chapter, hiding the remote
So we can't stop it
Or go back and intervene.
