Overlook

Noun or verb? What you see,
Mosaic, a vast land,
Or what you fail to see,

The occupied bird box
In the dead juniper,
Just outside your window?

How about both at once,
Both the scenic landscape
And everything you miss,

Your panoramic eye,
Blind spots for key details?
Isn’t that most common,

The blur at a distance,
Bird’s eye but not hawk-eyed,
The universal law

Without casuistry,
The principled conscience
Lacking in anecdotes?
