The Irony Of Sight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF AGAH IJKLMNOPQ QRSTT UVWXAU XYZZX A2B2XC2 AD2CN| I met a man who claimed he could see | A |
| He named everything he touched | B |
| And called it knowledge | C |
| Yet the blind one beside him | D |
| Walked without names | E |
| But never lost his way | F |
| - | |
| We are taught to hold certainty | A |
| Like a staff in the dark | G |
| Yet it is certainty | A |
| That teaches us how to stumble | H |
| - | |
| The child asks why | I |
| Until the question breaks the room | J |
| The elder answers because | K |
| And calls the silence wisdom | L |
| We measure truth in conclusions | M |
| Frame it hang it defend it | N |
| Only for time | O |
| To return as a quiet thief | P |
| And rearrange the walls of meaning | Q |
| - | |
| A man spends his life becoming | Q |
| Climbing the fragile ladder of self | R |
| Only to arrive at the top | S |
| And discover | T |
| He has been carrying a stranger | T |
| - | |
| We fear contradiction | U |
| As though truth were a straight line | V |
| Yet life speaks in circles | W |
| Repeats itself in unfamiliar voices | X |
| And hides clarity | A |
| Inside confusion | U |
| - | |
| Even sight deceives | X |
| For what is seen | Y |
| Is often what is assumed | Z |
| And what is assumed | Z |
| Is rarely what is | X |
| - | |
| So we move | A2 |
| Not forward not backward | B2 |
| But deeper into a maze | X |
| That looks like progress from above | C2 |
| - | |
| And the greatest irony | A |
| The moment we finally understand | D2 |
| We no longer have the language | C |
| To explain it | N |
