The Cruel Radiance of What Is

 

Die knowing something:

eggs (any style),

 

twenty shoes, standing in a row,

factory chimney seen

through the iron work of a railroad bridge,

the eye of a fly enlarged 2,000 times,

 

the interior of a watch.

 

Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop.

You are not here long.
