not as much A sharper as a higher order eye

"Brown"

my brown furry "Where the Wild Things Are" tail (a gift from a friend)


Not that I lacked an eye entirely,
But give me an oblique enough kiss
To visualize, and my eye said “See ya later.”
A little practice might have sharpened it,
But what was needed here was not as much
A sharper as a higher order eye,
A whole other orb altogether.

[Dan Brown, 'Why I Never Applied Myself to Pool', originally from Poetry, March 2013]
