with eyes to see


with two full sets of eyes to see
you'd think the world would clearer be
while yours with others interacts
mine could stand guard behind your back

but each eye finds a new occasion
to view things from its own persuasion
yours tend to scan periphery
mine focus right in front of me

because our eyes are each attuned
to different kinds of visual cues
our sight can become microscopic
and lean toward visually myopic

for as we boast of our precision
to combat all perceived derision
the expectation of invasion
has taught us both to seek evasion

its clear we want transparency
knowing full well its rarity
so we close our eyes and feel our way
through another turbid opaque day
