A Sigh..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i ask
what could have been the reason
why we all
have two eyes?


perhaps we can't see with
just one
we even missed a lot
having two.

i wonder why the other eye
is not at the back
we could have seen the past
too well
or we could have projected
the future
that much

it seems that everything is
in pairs: hands and feet and two
holes in the nose


i wonder why i only have
one navel
one mouth

and i most wonder why i fall
in love a lot


and yet having no one
loving me back.
