IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS
    Reading the Keys Eye Chart

In the scheme of things,
I see what I want and I show what I find there.
But, you wide-eyed wonders,
do you know even half the truth of who you are -
Of what is behind the looking glass?

You can not – you do not see, even with fresh eyes,
    clear as waters pure and poolish.
You have not hunted the oceans,
Nor prowled land and eked out enough answers.

Your vision is in training and
Fortuity may bring you close to the surface
For a quick breath and bite,
        but WIDE eyes makes not a visionary.

You either are or you are not.

In the scheme of things
It is a truth that masks are worn by
      those who do not choose recognition,
      and by those who seek refuge,
      making the game, if this be a game,
      more difficult to play.
But play I will,
and with artistic vision I am champion
 – because, very simply, I see!
