Vision

I made jam. I smoked a cigarette (just one). I stared at the stars for a long time. I mean, really stared. I sat and simply looked up. I read Archie comics and spent most days in my bathing suit. I floated and dove and picked peas right out of the pod and strawberries out of the field. I ate picnics at every meal. I cleaned with bleach. I re-decided what music I like. I told my son he was clever because he had spotted a creature in the woods. He responded, "I used my vision."

I used my vision. I shut my eyes. I turned off every tap. I let my vision lead the way.
