Have you ever noticed how important eyes are to the metaphysical us?
Try to locate where "you" are, the you that you retreat to when your body goes on autopilot. I'll bet you didn't find yourself in your big toe. You found yourself nestled just behind the eyes.
Then, consider poetry and romance. The eyes are the window to the soul, though not everyone chooses to open the blinds. Lovers can lose themselves in each other's eyes. The magnetic attraction of those strange things sitting in a fleshy skull. Has anyone ever lost themselves so completely in an elbow?
No, the real fascination rests with those orbs of light, swirled together into two shining samples of humanity.
