iving is easy with eyes closed,
misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone
but it all works out.
It doesn't matter much to me.
(Strawberry Fields Forever, The Beatles)
NO SCARS
You wounded me when I could not see
to fight back;
you, the determined dragon.
I vainly recall the harshness of
your voice; yet it comes to me in
nightmare form.
God gave me a gift that I might see,
and I saw your true form.
I realize that you are nothing more
than what you appeared to be,
a would-be politician who loves cigars.
And now, seasons past that day,
I realize how lucky I am.
