Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
#299 sounds just like a girl son#1 dated. I wanted so badly to ask, “Anybody home?” But I restrained myself. That relationship didn’t last – he determined that she was too dumb and he wanted a girl who could carry on an intelligent conversation! (I was relieved!)
I find it interesting how we seek out the eyes in trying to make assessments of a person – there are so many metaphors and similes and so on for eyes – such as
“windows into the soul”.I find this interesting as I have had bad vision all my life and so I am very protective of my eyes, grateful that they can still see, and so I pay attention to other people’s eyes too – which leads to plenty of observations such as what you mention!
