eloquent dots and dashes
and checkerboards, rest
under eye lids,
to say it's dark back there
is a mistake, of the
visionless

second sight and dragon flight,
just beyond that place,
squeeze tight

circus acrobats and mind pay
and robot airplanes, dance
under eyelids,
where colors just invented
lead, even the
visioless

the most powerful of drugs
to know it,
is to see

the vision,
soak it in


envy is the drug,
but to be different

is the cure
