[ WP ] You 've just invented a device that allows you to see the world through the eyes of anyone alive , wherever they currently exist . However , you are unable to hear what they hear .

The lidless eye: an all-seeing miracle 
 lets me spy on private materials 
 open connection - flawless picture 
 eating others' cereal 
 reading others' scripture 
 the world through the eyes of anyone alive 
 see anyone cry and anyone die 
 finally, free from my loneliness 
 let go of anxiety and unlock my sobriety 
 an odious key - my personal piety. 
 
 I just wish too that I could hear you 
 more than just the view 
 I'm craving something new 
 ripe and rotting - my ears lay dormant 
 sick and tired of this white noise torrent 
 what's a discussion? 
 what does laughter sound like? 
 time to invent the omnipotent mic 
 and while i'm at it i'll make universal headphones 
 wait, shit, do n't they already have those? 
 voluntarily confined to my office desk chair 
 sitting in my underwear - I see you're on Reddit 
 r/WritingPrompts, I have to give you credit 
 does it bother you? 
 It bothers me 
 that I can see you see but you ca n't see me.
