notice is my-(little)-opia
like a visual fly on the hunt
land upon, then intake
gerbils in the mind converse
optics is granted a permission to view
maybe it is a feeding frenzy
not so much the image
but more so the interpretation
such a gush, all talking at once
raising the interest level significantly
notice, whether a prairie dog or an albatross
is on the constant wander
of course, all of this happens
before identification becomes steadfast
and whatever the image
is now a billboard, scaled down,
in the retentive mind
as if feeding on small morsels
to feed the mind-scape
directly from the pallet
through the visual brush
there are times I wait
for the crossing guard of interest
to halt the parade,
maybe even to a standstill
just for the mind-audience to gets its fill
myopia functions much like a house pet
they have free reign within certain limits
learn that they can’t see
what can’t be named
and always relinquish the search
when there is food for thought . . .
