I spy out of the corner of my left eye

In the shower this morning

I spied a little lizard on the wall

out of the corner of my left eye

I slowed down, pondered 

but did nothing to it.

In the driveway this morning 

I spied a little boy on the road

out of the corner of my left eye

I slowed down, heaved a sigh of relief 

that I spotted him, that he didn't dash across the road 

I think I have the lizard to thank

for training the corner of my left eye so well.
