I FEEL MY SELF IN THE ORIGIN, MISCALLED AN OBJECT

Duane Locke

The seen object
Becomes what is not
When it is looked at.
This ancient oak has my blue eyes,
And bark, shaped like my mouth, my nose.
Then I realize I really don’t know
The true color of my eyes, or the true shape,
Mouth, nose.
So, I pause from my everyday vagueness,
To perceive precisely.
Now I sense, I know only my fantasy of life,
Don’t know what is being seen.
