The Eyes Have Us

I suspect we'll fail, but, Carrie, can't we
Try to reach a place which no one else's
Eyes can see? Someone always is watching
Now. Your phone will tell him, tell her,
Tell it, where you are and what you're
Doing, what it is you mean to buy, and,
If you put aside your phone, a camera
On a pole will see you or a drone up
In the sky or satellites in space, and,
Yes, I know that, as we're two of billions,
Though we're watched, we're rarely seen,
But, Carrie, wouldn't it be nice if we
Could slip away into a forest or a jungle,
For a time, to be alone?
