Eye catcher

If only I had known my youth.
Reverse crystal ball naivety
always. Manger consumption
swelling a gut so full of grudges
it holds against itself.
Diamond-sharp acid
can't dissolve. Stonewalls
smile   receptors, rendering
futility. Laser-focused
on expanding opportunity
like looking so long
the periphery vignettes
to exist. It is recognizing
inextricable blinders & eyes
clamping, finding vision
in light-absent horizon
