Photosynthesis

eyes are ancient leaves `
pictures, not sugars, from light `
go on, feast your eyes `

Haiku Bones: incandescent

Kind of odd to think about it, but our eyes are attuned to a special kind of quantum-made light.

We can really only use some of the light made from jitter-bugging electrons in the scant century of elements.

Other kinds of light ? Well we're blind or blinded.
