I have to watch my feet
lest I misstep.
Especially on stairs
and tumble.
It's happened enough
to keep me humble.
Ass over teacup
is the expression.
From where did that
juxtaposition arise?
I can no longer trust
my unreliable vision,
a one-eyed photographer
just like my camera.
However, now I know
what Saint-Exupery wrote
applies more truly than ever:
It is only with the heart
that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible
to the eye.
