Vision

 

 

I lost my spectacles once
It turned out to be the best day of my life
All the ugliness blurred out
All the cruelty too far away to see
All the violence too hazy to be worried about

I lost my spectacles once
It turned out to be the worst day of my life
All the beauty distorted
All the kindness too indistinct to appreciate
All the humanity too fuzzy to comprehend

My eyesight is not my vision
My vision is not my eyesight
