Do we see clearer
Do we see clearer when our eyes are covered in tears?
Does the sparrow fall purposely and with accuracy?
When self-discovered, I am partial to my story,
When it differs from yours.
I signal for math problems and paintbrushes;
Both ready for disposal but crowd the other when I want
To tell about the news that others have probably already found.
Author Note: about perspective and revelation
About the author
I live with my wife, an artist, in Indianapolis. Besides poetry, I like to take photographs, read books, travel overseas, and listen to news/political podcasts, college lectures and classic literature. You can read about my approach to poetry on my poetics page. To stay in touch, follow me on Twitter or connect on a variety of other social networks.
