blindness

my eyes can see
so many places
they look out through time
and across large spaces

my eyes see ideas
they see contemplations

they squint
and focus
and stare
with dilations

my eyes see around me
inside and out
if my eyes do not see it
my mind creates doubt

with so many thing
for my eyes to see
it’s a pity
they go blind
when they gaze
upon me
