“The Eyes Have It” is a humorous, early short story by Philip K. Dick that first appeared in Technology Fiction Stories in 1953. In it, a bus-riding reader of a discarded melodrama with an overactive imagination is persuaded with the hackneyed prose that this world continues to be bought out by aliens. Therefore, when “eye gradually roved around the room”, the reader imagines disembodied eyeballs touring of their personal free will. A uncommon example of satire from your Dick canon.
