Depth perception



With ten thousand neurons 

in one single suction cup 

on an octopus tentacle,


could even you imagine

what it would feel like

when touching


anything-

each other-

No contact-

like eye contact.


There may be a nest 

of tangled live wires


behind the wall

behind our masks


we are currents

of electricity.


And as the eel shocks every-

thing but itself-


we have so many blind spots 

not baited eye-

spots-as fish-


Don't you wish 

chameleon when needed to be

or to know so much

feeling


with only the lightest touch...

And then...

  Change is like that strong smell of cut grass or chopped wood that stops you still. Patterns, a symbol can be an illegible sign,  at first...
