Cataract Surgery (I’ll Keep an Eye Out for You)
Cataract surgery, the left eye today
Which means I that while I can see through the right
The left side of the world is an iridescent pinkish blue
Through which only a few shapes can be perceived
And that’s fine (altho’ I keep tapping the wrong keys)
Sometimes we should look at the world differently
Think of Ransom on Lewis’ Malacandra
Or John Carter on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Mars
When you can see through only one lonely eye
Our home planet too is strange and wild
