This Heart of the Matter: How High Is the Eye?
“Things always look different from higher up.”
–Clint Eastwood (A Fistful of Dollars)
Straightforward is a good thing
Even if it’s those eyes forward
(The symptom of carnivorous)
I see it in my beloved cat
(As does the side-eyed rat)
And there too in the mirror
Is beloved (ojala) I
Even queerer:
If I had any doubt about the heart
About God about kindness about wise
It would hang rather on the
Dichotomy of these eyes forward
Versus the eyes of the heart
But then of course this heart of the matter:
How high is the eye?
