Your eyes are right,
but your perception is not.
And with your blind
eyes you see me.
And with your blind eyes
you do not
see pompousness,
vanity,
and haughtiness in
those who cover it
with false debonairness
and acumen.
And you do not see
my coyness for what it is.
That you do not
see, with your
beautiful eyes,
that it is you
that I am keen.
For you, I would
forever vie.
