is of periphery,
of glancing,
photon-rich,
is of reports
from spectacled
mirrored
surveyor
of supple lens
is prescient
but smug
foveal --
sickly rich cream
lathering atop
the foam
milk of sense,
"image" of imagine
is holding forth
leveled in a crystal glass
whose remaining volume
is to be measured
in the crucible of another
is resisting
silent fireworks,
an all-Beethoven world
without the genius,
vertigo of the eye
is under pressure,
decline versus decline
holding tight to the distinction
to cream & the fruit it favors,
is seeing's sight
