seeing and showing

Wed, Jan 1, 2025

The eye shows,
But I don’t see.
Fear also shows,
But I don’t see.
The ear hears,
But I don’t see.
Anger also hears,
But I don’t see.

I am blinded by my ability to see.
I don’t see what I don’t see.
The spoon holds my food;
I taste what the spoon tastes.

Can I see the showing one?
It takes a moment.
Can I witness the seeing one?
It takes a moment.

The seeing one sees the showing one.
There is the witnessing.
The seeing one shows the showing one.
There is the blind.

The seeing knows no blindness.
The blindness is of the showing.
Can a blind see?
What can a blind show?
Only darkness.
Only losting.

The showing one shows what it sees,
The seeing one sees what it is.
The darker it is,
The more the blind shows.
The lighter it is,
The more the seeing.

The shower knows good and bad.
The seeing knows both and neither.

The shower projects its world onto the world.
The seeing sees that as part of the world.

The shower witnesses being watched.
The shower sees its own blindness—
Clearly, distinctly, indisputably.
And then,
What happens to the shower?
