All carefully tested

Images crowd upon
Images tinted by blood

My eyes are red, corneas
Dissolved by hairspray
Barely able to discern the cardboard
Pellets I am fed from my droppings

It must be morning
Pain is again scarring my eyes
I cannot blink cannot cry cannot
Breathe I scream I cannot I cannot

The man in the white coat
Notes the product is unsafe
