The Wide-eyed Antics Of Salvador Dali
O Salvador!
What world do your eyes see?
Do you see the canvas on your easel?
Or do you see through it?
Teach me O genius!
Where does one learn to open ones eyes so wide
That all that hides from our sight
Is drawn into lawless perception
Past logic
Past knowledge
Past understanding
Where there is nothing but images
And the possibility of a dream
How do we look upon a world that is flat to the eye
And see it to be round?
How do you hide your insanity in your suit
And let your curly mustache be your caste?
Every time I look into your eyes I fall in
Where do they lead - Salvador?
Was it your dead brother who peered out from behind
those great soul windows?
Was it Gala that kept your heart beating
When your eyes went on journeys
Outside your head
And across the invisible path
Where the footprints of the masters could be found?
How can we come to understand that time
Can be undone by the persistence of memory?
