The I's Have It

what is this dream

this state

this paleness

this manifestation

following me?

i close my eyes

for the silence

and these eyes

they look without seeing

they cannot feel

and what they see

is not always

conveyed to me

in a timely manner

yet they see in the dark;

they see the future

(i look and i see nothing)

they see

everything

i see

nothing

they see

through the clouds

through the mists

and any kind of

man made obfuscation

they see the illusion

they can smell the collusion

they feed on delusion

and amid this confusion

they do not play

they refuse to relay

they thrive

on ocular delay

and then

on another day

they show me

like they know me

like they were in on it

the whole time

i have these visions

and yet

i cannot see
