At Varying Degrees, We Learn

image borrowed from bing

at varying degrees, we learn

at varying degrees, we learn
to close our eyes, to be
tempted, to loosen the
hinge on what we see,
to be found –
if held
for a moment
longer,
we could
almost hear the
world tucking
up its edges
as it retreated –
for god’s sake
don’t peek
.
