I give you one of my blue eyes
Because you are four and ask for it
When we pass in the street
My blue eye looks
Between your brown eyes
And recognizes an old companion
There is a moment of envy
But it passes as we pass
Along the street
Two ships as adults like to say
Passing in the night
One a single blue beacon
The other three lights
One blue the other two
The color of soil
Holding forth
I give you one blue
And would send you another
If you asked
To improve your view of this world
If you asked
If you asked for it
