If One Eye Isn't Aligned with the Other

​If one eye isn’t aligned with the other,
If you have to forget a to acquire b,
Then sometimes you have to forget, to acquire
Land, the contours of the sea,

Close the shade, all you hear are giant
Steps, then a melody that no one owns
Anymore. “The operation was successful,
We had to ignore your feet, even your groans,

“And we worked on your head.” The funny
Thing about the divers is that they swam
Upwards, so it looked, leaning overboard,
There was the lean one, Abraham,

He also has sheep, they graze on his
Own hill, under his own watermill,
You don’t want them wandering everywhere
And drinking from wells that will make them ill.

That’s quite a large flag you’ve raised,
That’s quite a wind, it seems to be blowing
In this direction, and all the branches
Are bent, the morning sun glowing,

The dew at the base of the leaves,
The light that excites the chlorophyll,
And the boats are floating on the sea,
Men walking down and climbing up the hill.
