100x450 - 36 - in my eyes there is everything

Look in my eyes. What do you see? Do you see a man? That is not what I am. Do you see a boy? I am neither boy nor man; I am not like you at all, except that you may understand the words that I am saying, you may imagine things inspired by a particular string of sounds and tongue-confusions, but when you look in my eyes you will not see the eyes of a boy or man, instead you will see nothing, or maybe everything -- maybe you will see your pride which you left behind so long ago.
