Tunnel Vision
I stare too long at what I write
til what it means is out of sight.
Where I meant day, you see night,
I've grown too close to see my light.
Tunnel vision
indecision
puts my life out of commission.
In perdition
til revision
helps me get across my mission.
I don't mean to pick a fight
but what you think just can't be right
your eyes and ears must be shut tight
to what I wrote with all my might.
Tunnel vision
imprecision
comes from my try at concision.
With permission,
intermission
lets me shed my inhibition.
You thought my work was really bright
mainly where I think it's trite,
the parts that I thought had real bite
you said could just go fly a kite.
Tunnel vision
superstition
keeps my thoughts from extradition.
Blindly fishin'
is tradition
til there's no cause for addition.
Tunnel vision
no finishin'
til they print the last edition.
Written in late 2004.
